Library E-Book Checkouts Soar

Great news for authors! There was also a report in eBook Newser that users may soon have the option to purchase if the title has a long wait list. Very exciting to see so much change in such a short period of time.

"E-book checkouts from libraries through September 30 were nearly triple the total for all of 2010, and overall visitor traffic approached an annual run rate of one billion impressions, according to a third quarter 2011 report from digital distributor OverDrive, whose platform is used by more than 15,000 public and school libraries."
