E-Book Lending
E-Book lending allows users to borrow digital books from libraries or online platforms. This service is similar to traditional library lending but is conducted electronically, making it convenient for readers to access a wide range of titles from their devices. Users typically need a library card or an account with a lending service to borrow e-books.
Many libraries use platforms like OverDrive or Libby to manage their e-book collections. Borrowers can download e-books for a limited time, after which they automatically return to the library's collection. This system promotes reading while ensuring that authors and publishers are compensated for their work.
