Of course, this is because Hachette, unlike Amazon Publishing, commonly licenses books to public libraries. So I am indeed more sympathetic to Hachette than Amazon. |
Commonly??? Only if by commonly you mean that after 2 years of a pilot project with a single library system, Hachette finally agreed to sell their ebooks to all public libraries at an inflated price.
