Libraries and e-books 图书馆和电子书 Literary labours lent 文学劳动力已借出 The uncertain economics of lending virtual books 难以预料的实体书借阅经济 I hear Muggles make books disapparate 我听说麻瓜能让书籍幻影移形 LIKE a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long beenreassuringly dull. 就像是一个令人疲惫的婚姻，图书馆和出版商之间长期存在着无聊的关系。 E-books, however, are causing heartache. 然而，电子书的出现引起了它们的心痛。 Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant, 图书馆知道，如果它们想保持自己存在的价值，就需要数字化的设备， but many publishers are too wary of piracy and lost sales to co-operate. 但对于许多出版商而言，由于在盗版和失去销量问题上太过谨慎的态度，而不予合作。 Among the big six, only Random House and HarperCollins license e-books with mostlibraries. 在最大的六家出版商中，只有兰登书屋和哈珀柯林斯出版社授予了绝大多数图书馆电子书的许可。 |
