My library has improved since the start of the lending, but by and large, the majority of books I look up are not available for lending. I am completely onboard that publishers and authors need to make money from the programs, but right now there isn't a happy medium.
Library availability doesn't pose a problem for me. If I can't find a particular Kindle book at any of the libraries I belong to, then I'll pick something else. To me, there's no such thing as a must read book.

I'm more than willing to pay for a subscription video service; but I'll never pay for a subscription ebook, audiobook, magazine, or music service. There's more than enough variety in the available free services of the latter ones for my needs.
