Libraries and e-books
I was unaware that libraries pay a premium to own e-books
Here is an article by an e-book author explaining the background and pointing to a petition to publishers to change that system

Yes, very interesting. I have stopped getting ebooks from the library because the wait was long and the selection not so good. Now I know why...

Same here. I haven't even looked at their e-books for quite a while. A couple weeks ago I got a notice that an e-book I had requested months ago was available; I had totally forgotten ordering it and already had gotten the actual book from the same library system.
