Yup.
Our local non-government funded library is looking to use lender readers. Fill them with author freebies and discounted books and cheaper indy publications. If the book was bought for that reader the publishers can do NADA about this approach.
Over time readers will probably gravitate towards authors with a day job who don't want ten bucks or more for a book. Reading is not in danger, just maintaining the high cost the paper infrastructure required.
