Ebooks shouldn’t expire. The limited number of checkouts made more sense as a physical book could wear out, but both are still anti-author and anti-library policies. But there’s absolutely no logical reason an ebook should expire based on time. It’s not milk.
Book 1 is $59.99 went out 4 times. Cost per circ $14.99 Book 2 is $59.99 went out 4 times. Cost per circ $14.99 I'm not buying book 3. If the cost per circ was $5 or $3, I wouldn't mind. But that is WAY too high, especially for a thing that expires after 2 yrs.
