Just had my first email to do with the London Book Fair in April. I see on their agenda lots to do with ebooks and all the different aspects of it. If Amazon and it's Kindle set up a borrowing aspect will the authors get paid etc. Will libraries be able to lend an ebook many times over. I'm looking forward to seeing how the digital fraternity overcome these hiccups!
