One Book, One Lend for Libraries

“That there is a problem with ebook lending in libraries couldn’t be farther from the truth. The one book, one user DRM model…is a perfect complement for publishers, authors, and retailers business.”

There's a part of me that worries about it, but I'm first worried about my company... and my authors, and their survival. So we have met with several people who are trying to come up with a solution to sell into libraries and there are people who are working on various and sundry different models that are not just sell one ebook and let it be loaned forever, and in fact we met with one last week. So we've actually been meeting with people and think there will come a solution that we can live with. We just haven't seen one yet.
