“On the face of it, librarians and people in the publishing industry have a lot in common. We love good literature. We delight in the discovery of new authors. We’re curious about the future. Together, we fight censorship. But it’s clear to most librarians that the big six’s stances on libraries and e-books is a transparent attempt to lock us out of the e-book market altogether—a stance that is itself a kind of censorship. Much of the tension between librarians and the big six feels like nothing so much as a betrayal of trust, a unilateral abandonment of our common purpose.” - James LaRue, Give ’em What They Want?
