电子书-纸质书借阅时代的终结者?

不过图书馆借出电子书的服务无疑还存在一点逻辑问题。毕竟如果你是想要一本电子书的话，你不用亲自去某个地方获取。你也不用受限于该书的库存量，你想要下载的任何内容都总会有无穷本在那里。比起你非得去一趟当地图书馆却发现他们所拥有的唯一一本已经借出去了，这种方式听起来要便利很多。

The first point doesn’t help the argument of those hoping to keep libraries open in this time of government spending cuts. If libraries did all their lending over the web, well, you wouldn’t need a physical library at all. And the second point about limitless copies for loan could mean that no one would ever need to actually buy a book at all. And that’s, understandably, worrying the book publishers.

在这个政府削减支出的时候，第一点（采用电子借阅方式）对那些希望让图书馆保持开放的人的观点毫无益处。如果图书馆全部采用网上借阅方式，那么，你将根本不需要一个实体图书馆。而第二点，关于不限制借出书的本数可能意味着没有人会真的去买一本书。那么理所当然地，这是让图书出版者们担忧的问题。

But we have to ensure that we 13)replicate, as closely as we can, the success of the physical lending model, which is that there’s one book, there’s one user, there’s one time, and in that way you ensure that the lending model doesn’t start to impact upon the retail model.
