Book people are book people

The NYT reports in "Reading Between the Lines of Used Book Sales" that used book sales don't necessarily threaten new book sales. Librarians at OCLC have already noticed that library users buy more books than non-users, and have taken advantage of that in OpenWorldCat with their "Buy it now" buttons.

Lorcan Dempsey flips it the other way: "Find in a Library" buttons on Amazon? Wild.

How long until it's commonly accepted that all kinds of media consumption are mutually reinforcing? Maybe it is already, but that doesn't make the money people happy.
