Net Libray is a library that lends out digitalbooks. It treats a digital  like a  paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of  the total income.

  From the consumer’s point of view，this means that if more than，Say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel，other people who request  that book will get a message saying the title can’t be found.

   It’s a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 gave the  company rights to hand out their digital works，and McGraw-Hill Corporation and  Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company. The California public  libraries and about 1，800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford  University librarian  Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks,  which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

Kelle and some  other  librarians argue  for  the  e-book  vision  set forth by E-Brary. E-Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.

Christopher Warnock，chief executive of E-Brarw, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books，only the parts that interest them.

“There’s not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it     and manage it.It doesn't make sense.”he said.
