Tor delays new-release sales to library ebook supplier Overdrive
From a new post on Teleread: Tor delays new-release sales to library ebook supplier Overdrive.

Quote:
TOR books no longer sells their front-list to libraries. We must wait at least 4 months after the publication date before their new titles will be released to Overdrive for us to purchase. They have decided that library sales may be negatively impacting their retail sales and are participating in a study that will attempt to determine the impacts of libraries on the book market and sales, especially regarding eBooks.
Until now Tor has been very e-book friendly, not forcing the inclusion of DRM on purchased books.
