Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books.which must be checked out and
returned to a physical library miles from where you live,book files can be downloaded at home.Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night.from a comfortable sofa.The files disappear from the device when they are due.
Awkwardly for publishers,buying an ebook costs more than renting one but offers little extra value.
You cannot resell it。lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm.Owning a book is useful if you want to savor(品尝)it repeatedly,but who readsFifty Shades of Greytwice?
E-1ending is not simple.however.There are lots of different and often incompatible e-book formats,devices and licences.Most libraries use a company called Over Drive,a global distributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format.Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drives market dominance,as the company can increasingly dictate fees and conditions.
Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers,and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work.Many were.cheered by a recent Pew survey,which found that more than half of Americans with Horary cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries,and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists,which may be what inspires people to buy.
