<div dir="ltr">Here it is simply. Digital access to a single title - one ebook - costs the public library $85. <b><font color="#ff0000" size="4">That $85 is good for only 26 downloads. And only one customer can borrow the ebook at a time. </font></b><br>
<br>Under this arrangement, publishers have the best of both worlds. For borrowing purposes, the ebook is treated like a single copy of a print book: only one customer can borrow one title at any given time. But for licensing purposes, the ebook is treated as a controlled digital resource that must be licensed and continually renewed. <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;display:inline">
