电子书-纸质书借阅时代的终结者?

理查德·莫雷特（英国出版者协会）：这种出版业和图书馆之间的关系是历史性的，有一百年多年之久，而我们想要这种关系持续到未来的电子书时代。但是我们必须确保我们尽可能精密地模拟实体借阅模式的成功方式，那就是一位用户在一个时间内借一本书，那样你才可以确保这种借阅模式不会影响到零售模式。

Host: Overdrive attempts to 14)allay those concerns. A local library chooses how many digital copies to purchase and that limits the number of users who can borrow the e-book at one time. When the loan period is up, the book will 15)expire automatically and return itself to the e-library for other 16)patrons to enjoy.

主持人：Overdrive一直试图消除这些担心。一座本地图书馆决定了多少本电子版是需要购买的，这就限制了本来曾经可以通过电子借阅方式阅读该书的用户数量。当借书期限一到，此书将自动终止借阅服务，并自动还回电子图书馆以供其他用户借阅。

Some libraries use this system: “public library on line”. Here, all reading is done through a web browser; no book is downloaded. You don’t need to worry about the availability of a title either. All books can be accessed by many users at one time. The downside is, if your internet connection disappears, so does your book. Also, reading books on a web browser isn’t easy on the eyes, and most e-readers don’t come with a browser. This is essentially an attempt to tempt the reader into buying the physical book.
