This is what annoys me about digital books and libraries. It's a digital file. It's literally always available! There should never be a reason to have to place a hold on it. I can understand only having access to it for a limited time, but anybody who wants to borrow it should be able to borrow it at any time without restriction. It's one of the reasons my wife gave up trying to borrow books on her ereader because it was such a hassle for something that should have been the very definition of convenience. Now she never touches her Kobo and just borrows books the old fashioned way. Why wait weeks for a digital download to become "available' when a physical copy is just a drive across town away?
