I think a lot of this fight is over books that become social hits. Most people don't read much, but they want to get in on the water cooler talk around a hot book. Waiting for the window to open at the library and then waiting to get your turn in the queue is not going to work for such books. Hence, the librarians' gripes that they can't provide adequate numbers during the time the book is a fad. I don't know what leverage they have to get things changed. Maybe just hold back your money and not order many copies when the fad is over and the window opens.
