I'm afraid I don't understand the question, Moejoe. A library buys "x" copies of a book, if it's a paper book. If it's an eBook, they buy a licence to distribute "x" simultaneous copies of the book for a restricted period of time. Are you suggesting that a library should buy a licence to provide unlimited copies of an eBook? That would be enormously expensive - would you, as a taxpayer, be willing to pay the significantly increased taxes that such a move would entail?
