Funny thing is...libraries are about to get into print on demand in a big way. A lot of people still prefer to have that book in hand. So libraries are getting rid of their one copy of a book, and people are paying 25-35 dollars to have a book printed from the digital files. I have heard of one library having 25 print on demand orders for the same book. That's 25 times the paper for something that one book in the library would have provided.
