Libraries get ripped off by the large publishers when it comes to e-books. Pretty much all of them a) charge substantially more for the file to a library then a consumer and b) impose an expiration date of some sort.
The publishers claim this is because e-books don't bring in replacement sales like p-books do... but it's been shown, quite clearly, that replacement sales at libraries are actually quite insignificant.
Really annoys me, because I really enjoy borrowing epubs through Overdrive from my local library...
