It seems reasonable to me. Some just get upset because it's the evil publishers who are doing it, or their ox is getting gored.

It is funny how the story has morphed as the details have slowly come out. Of course, McMillian has embargoed the libraries for 3 months sounds a lot more extreme than McMillian has embargoed ebooks for 3 months at libraries or McMillian will only sale 1 copy of an ebook to libraries for the first 3 months.
