I can't imagine how our libraries would have functioned all these years if traditionally published books had had that same requirement. 26 loans? I would really like to know how they even came up with that number as the one to cease loaning ebook titles (update - explanation in this Library Journal article: http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/home/889452-264/harpercollins_puts_26_loan_cap.html.csp ) .
