Newburgh Free Library on Instagram: "Tomorrow is Read an Ebook Day. BEFORE you read an Ebook...did you know about the unfair practice of Ebook pricing for libraries? #BeforeYouReadanEbookDay Big publishers charge libraries up to five times the cost of print for Ebooks they must rebuy every two years. Ebook pricing models are often subscription based, meaning that the library does not own Ebooks only rents them. Sometimes the library must pay per checkout or pay a base price for a certain amount of check outs. We know there is a growing demand for Ebooks and we want to meet those needs, but it can be difficult when prices just keep going up! You can learn more about Ebook pricing at ebooksforus.com Thanks to the advocacy group @libraryfutures for putting this website together."
