For the public domain books what I want is to be able to download the pdf/txt files. And for the public domain books there shouldn't be any need to restrict how many times they're checked out simultaneously. I'm guessing that they don't have the resources to determine which are public domain so they're using the same procedure for almost everything although old magazines can still be downloaded.
