Hi all –

There has been some very lively conversation about digital lending of ebooks by libraries happening. In case you missed it, Kyle Courtney and Dave Hansen released a white paper about digitizing ebooks and controlled lending (a la what many public libraries have with overdrive/adobe digital editions).

Our colleagues at the author’s alliance have spoken up in support of the proposal:

Today, the Author’s Guild came out strongly against the idea:
