This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

Everyone go make excessive use of your local library's generous lending policies to borrow my books and read them for free. Thank you libraries.

also publishers currently have fairly outrageous policies wrt e-books and audiobooks sold to libraries, where they aren't in fact sold but temporarily licensed, and 'wear out' after a certain number of borrows or certain span of time, and have to be 'bought' again. and they cost vastly more to libraries than individual consumers are charged for the same thing.

so if you're getting the libby version of a book, odds are actually pretty decent this translates, indirectly, into the author getting paid again later.

...at least if you're one of a crowd. if it's just you then probably not, but if it's just you the author already got more royalties from the marked-up library price than if you'd bought it yourself, so eh.
