We agree. That is the question. I'm sure the publishers and libraries have the actual data.
And while there are disability issues, and there are poverty issues, how much of library usage goes to the impoverished and disabled? When I check out an ebook, it definitely is a sales substitution. When I was a child, my library usage didn't really take away sales...but it certainly counted as audience acquisition.
