@ehasbrouck@urbanists.social not true at all
Lending book was indeed limited by a copy at a time, thus the long waiting list on famous books.
I would say you never ever tried the feature.
You might be talking about the access ti PD books. Making a biased and wrong assuption to defend copyright holders whom have too much power already.

@cibersheep@mastodont.cat @Yuvalne@433.world - Scans of books are distributed by Internet Archive in multiple formats: as ebooks with some restrictions, but also (and more widely used) as unrestricted images of pages with a unique URL for each page.
