i really hate how they call it a 'library', very disingenuous if it's all on their servers and predicated on their fucking license agreements
what if real libraries had to throw away books because harpercollins got pissy. would anyone stand for it? (probably yes)
Are school libraries real libraries?
Would you suggest that a location that houses thousands of books that are available to borrow and/or use for research is not a library?
It does seem to be some differentiation, I can't walk into my child's school and check out a book. At least I don't think that would fly. It would definitely not be the norm.
