You are jumping to conclusions. If the library still buys ebooks, then they are only allowed to buy ONE copy for a time. In a sufficiently large library, or even in a very small library that depends on a consortium, limiting to one copy is doing nothing to make their patrons happy. It is more like a tease. If the library decides to buy one copy, they are sending their patrons the message that this book is a good one to read, and please go buy the book instead. The exact opposite of the library spirit to make availlable books equally to everybody regardless of their income or ability to purchase.
