Ah yes, we have the technology to send software updates to Voyager 2 in 18 hours, but apparently sending a 2MB file to public libraries in less than a decade is beyond our comprehension. What a world.

I think the reticence of libraries to purchase ebooks is because not only do they cost more than hardcover the usage license is time limited, or so I've heard.

I am not surprised in the slightest at that, and it's definitely not the library's fault. Borrowing a book for free is so antithetical to modern digital distribution methods, that publishers can't seem to accept a model that was standard just 10 or so years ago.
