C'mon, guys...

Well, we started off the week praising Macmillan Publishing, but that's officially over: there's an disturbing editorial in the Seattle Times about the effect Macmillan's upcoming e-book embargo will have on public libraries throughout the country. Starting on November 1st, public libraries, regardless of size, will be limited to buying just one e-book copy of a new book for the first eight weeks after its publication. This will be particularly tough for readers with disabilities, who will be forced to wait even longer for high-demand titles.
