Random House, 2012: “We believe that pricing to libraries must account for the higher value of this institutional model, which permits e-books to be repeatedly circulated without limitation.”
Random House, 2011: “For us, a library book does not compete with a sale. A library book is a sale.”
Public Libraries: Estimated $800 Million per Year
