If only it were that simple. Considering that the book will be made into a movie soon, your library will probably get another copy or two eventually. However, I wouldn't expect that to happen right away. E-books aren't discounted like p-books are. Libraries get p-books from wholesalers at steep discounts so they afford to purchase multiple copies of them. With e-books selling at retail price or higher, it's not always possible to get multiple copies of a popular book right away.

BTW, at a library consortium I'm part of, there are 85 holds on one copy. It's the price you pay for reading a free library copy. *shrugs*
