NY Times article: Publishers vs. Libraries: An E-Book Tug of War
This article may be helpful to non-librarians in trying to explain how publishers affect how we offer eBooks.

Both librarians and patrons need to continue to let publishers know that we are an important market and that we serve a vital role in a title's success.
Happy New Year!
