Current Cites recently ran a description of a spirited rejection of the current (broken, expensive) eBook offerings from publishers, from Sarah Houghton, Director of California's San Raffael Public Library:
As the technically-savvy library director for the San Rafael Public Library (CA), the author can be considered on the front lines of the disaster known as e-books in libraries. And this post makes it clear that she's fed up and won't take it any more. Using a brilliant metaphor of breaking up with a "bad boyfriend", Houghton skewers the e-book publishing industry.
(some NSFW language in the wall of text, but worth a read).
