@leebase: Since you opted back in. Do you have any evidence that there is an overwhelming number of heavy library users that do not also additionally support the art where they can in excess of library usage? Any evidence at all? You heard somebody say that they no longer buy Big5 books, but get them exclusively from the library? And now you very wrongly assume that they no longer buy books that they love at all? Refusing to pay the prices that the Big5 demand does not imply they are cheapskates. It is very possible that they are simply supporting the art of other authors not availlable in the library and maybe a very select few.
