That's misleading.
Here Libraries do not just buy a physical book. They pay royalties based on number of loads.
Also for ebooks they negotiate and get a library licence (which can be more or less than retail) and also pay a per loan royalty.
IA isn't just buying a copy of a book and scanning it.
They are making up their own rules. They also are poor at takedowns of copyright material that people upload to them. They are cheating authors.
