And what about the current library trend of eliminating late fees? Now it doesnt cost you anything to return a book late. Does that remove too much "friction?" Or do publishers want books returned late so fewer patrons can read it and waits grow longer? My only disdain for the publishers is a direct reflection of the disdain they have for library patrons.
