Libraries pay higher rates for ebooks than the retail price. They have to renew the license. A publisher can choose not to license their ebooks to a library if they want. Each license can only be lent to one person at a time and there are usually time limits.

In other words, it's completely different in every way.

I know publishers are working very hard to take back the first sale doctrine on eBooks. I’m talking about actual books in libraries not eBooks.

Anna’s archive deals in ebooks. They don’t have physical books.

Trying to force the comparison to be against physical books in libraries and ignoring their ebook situation is dishonest.
