@DiapDealer. Whilst libraries do lend books at no cost they have and are subject to limitations which limit the value of "free", including increased purchase costs for books, limited numbers and selections and long waiting lists. As you say, we must wait and see. There are many hypothetical scenarios to answer your last question. One, of course, is if ebooks take over much of the print book market. Another is if the Big 5 have difficulties attracting quality authors in the future, which I think is quite likely. Yet another would be if Indie books make their way inti traditional book stores in large numbers. There are many such scenarios.
