I remember one of the e-book publishers talking about their licensing
terms for libraries. In a bit of demented skeuomorphism, their terms
specified that the library would have to rebuy the book after 8
lendings, since that's as many lendings as they estimated a physical
book would last.
Librarians scoffed, showing books that they'd kept in rotation for 70-80
lendings. I'm sure a librarian with a tub of library paste and clear
tape could repair a jet plane...
