E-books at Libraries: Worth the cost?

I love e-books! I'd check them out from my local library more often if I could, but it seems like there's always a backlog of holds for the popular ones. Why is that? Turns out, it's complicated. Today on Stacks & Facts, we explore why libraries sometimes struggle to meet their patrons' demands for e-books.

Thanks very much to Aven over at Alliterative for looking my script over:    / @alliterative  

Thanks also to the folks at Humanware for giving me high-resolution photos of their tactile input/output! http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/home
