Unfortunately Penguin is harming libraries far more than they are harming Amazon with this move.

Basically, if you pay Amazon $80 a year, you get a free loan every so often. Penguin didn’t like it and (supposedly) asked Amazon to stop offering their titles this way. Amazon didn’t and now we get this.

Libraries are really just in the crossfire between a (expletive deleted)ing match between two companies.
