Dena Heilik sent us an email awhile back when we discussed briefly the process of buying ebooks for libraries. Dena is the department head of Philbrick Hall, the fiction &amp; DVD Department at the Central Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and she had a lot of things to say about building a digital collection of romance. We discuss the fact that all digital titles from HarperCollins and now Harlequin and Carina titles have a 26-checkout limit for libraries, and the other frustrations of increased ebook prices with metered limits on checkouts when dealing with an ever-decreasing library acquisition budget.
