As much as Agency is loathed in these parts, I have to admit, I rather like it. It has its problems (the only thing I miss about buying paperbacks is Chapters' buy 3 get 4 sales, which Agency precludes) but without Agency, there would be no Kobo. And I like Kobo quite a bit.
I enjoyed reading Scalzi's article. I've only read Old Man's War from him, which was decent, but I've enjoyed reading his blog now and then.
As for the Tor thing... well, I'm used to waiting for books. Got that way from the windowing from hardcover to paperback. So even now, when I buy the few ebooks I buy, I really don't mind if they're not day-and-date with a hardcover edition. So waiting for them to hit the library? Don't mind that a bit.
Now if only all the publishers would see reason regarding the sales price and licensing terms they impose on libraries for ebooks...
