The Douglas County Libraries system is out with their latest monthly report comparing pricing of e-books and print books for consumers and for libraries. This one is for prices as of March 3, 2014.
It's fairly evident that there's lots of progress to be made. In the top New York Times fiction list, six of the top 15 books are $75 or more for library e-books. Of those, only 13 are available to libraries.
Leading the way again is the Goldfinch, $90 as an e-book for libraries, $7.50 for consumers. That's quite a disparity.
