I do wonder about author's royalties however (the ones they miss out on because of great services like this one) . Back home authors get a library fee, a token amount based on how many times their books are checked out from libraries. It means that we pay 25c per book we check out, but as a librarian and a writer, I think it's a good thing... don't know if it would ever every fly over here however! .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StonyRiverFarm/~3/HoXUP7zJ9l8/having-capital-weekend.html" rel="nofollow">Having a Capital Weekend...</a> =-.
