Maybe Macmillan is right that libraries hurt their sales although I suspect it helps them in the long run. That isn't the issue I'm concerned with. We need libraries and we need to support them as individuals and companies. They're just too important not to.

It will hurt their sales. Less library purchases at the inflated prices. This means reading other books that are available or have a much shorter wait time. It doesn't mean I'm going to buy their eBooks because of this dirty trick.
