　　Uke a tired marriage.the relationship between libraries and publishers has long beenreassuringly dull.E—books，however，are causing heartache.Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant，but many publishers are too careful about piracy and lost sales to c0.operate.Among the big six.onlyRandom House and HarperCollins license e-books with most libraries.The others have either deniedrequests or are reluctantly experimenting.

　　Publishers are wise to be nervous.Owners of e.readers are exactly the customers they need：book—lovers with money-neither the devices nor broadband connections come cheap.Ifthese wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them，what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books.which must bechecked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live，book files can bedownloaded at home.Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night.from a comfortablesofa.The files disappear from the device when they are due.

　　Awkwardly for publishers，buying an e—book costs more than renting one but offerslittle extra value. You cannot resell it。lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm.Owning a book isuseful if you want to savour(品嘗)it repeatedly，but who reads“Fifty Shades of Grey”twice? E-1ending is not simple.however.There are lots of different and often incompatiblee-book formats，devices and licences.Most libraries use a company called OverDrive，a globaldistributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in everyformat.Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive’s market dominance，as the companycan increasingly dictate fees and conditions.

　　Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers，and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work.Many were.cheered by a recent Pew survey，whichfound that more than half of Americans with Hbrary cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.Butthe report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries，and thatpopular titles often involve long waiting lists，which may be what inspires people to buy. So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in：search of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year，and Harper Collins limitslibraries to lending its titles 26 times.

　　Hachita is engaged in some secret experiments，and the others are watching with heldbreath.In Britain the government will soon announce a review of the matter.The story of thelibrary e-book is a nail-biter.
