I'm not angry at the libraries. They're kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm not really angry at the publishers either. They can do what they want. My borrowing (non-buying) habit is pretty well set now — and I don't mind waiting. Companies who fail to understand changing conditions and try to glom on to "the way things were" for too long, usually don't survive.
