I think I’m of the unpopular opinion that it should be going back to the 1:1 or at maximum 1:3 rather than 1:N book downloads. They’re a business, and yes they do have to make money even if they already have a lot.

Limiting the number of downloads would be helpful for the individual authors, they need to make money too or they will have done everything for nothing potentially. If a person really wants a book, try going to the physical library, use Libby or just torrent it. There is also Project Gutenberg on the internet, www.gutenberg.org

Paying an author a dollar to buy a book that then gets lent out a thousand times is not a viable business model for authors.
