I think this mostly shows that libraries are finally catching up on the ebook side. It has taken a while (as expected) but the libraries I have access to have nearly as good of an e-catalog as they do of a paper catalog. At least for relatively recent books.
Of course people are borrowing from the library more. They CAN now. Until libraries were able to catch up people had to buy the e-books if they want e-books. Now that there is choice the people have migrated to ebooks who used to be paper library patrons are now e-library patrons. And the percentage of people who are e-library patrons is probably a little higher than paper library patrons because is is so much more convenient to use the e-library.
