I just read about this embargo this morning and am so surprised to have not seen anything anywhere other than my library!
It seems, Macmillan is starting an embargo on November 1 - they will limit e-book releases (to libraries) to just one copy for 8 weeks which is just a way to force customers to buy copies rather than borrow from libraries.
If this concerns you too - go here and read more about it. Be sure to sign the petition - tweet about it, write about it, send letters!
This embargo only hurts libraries and consumers in an attempt to put more money in the publisher's pocket, at reader's expense!
