I have been having the lending error problem again. It has been happening since Friday. It worked for a little bit on Saturday but now it is not working again. I am kind of getting frustrated and sad because that has been happening too much.

Thank you for letting us know about the issue you encountered trying to read books from Archive.org. As you may have read the Southern District of New York court recently issued its final order in Hachette v. Internet Archive. This affects how we may lend books. Please bear with us as we are making changes to our service in light of this ruling. Thank you very much for your support and understanding.

Out of the blue several nights ago every book requiring a 1 hour borrow has been met with a "Lending Error" box no matter the date, publisher, or anything else. Nothing has been said about the issue on the site's pages, on your social media accounts, or in your own forums. Is anyone aware of this, is anything being done about it, and if it's a permanent situation why not remove the button altogether until the matter is resolved? As it is, it's not only misleading, but frustrating.

Dear Internet Archive,

I'm seeing those lending errors again now. If your website is only planning to loan books at certain times, can you please put up an announcement somewhere or notify us accordingly so that we may know when we may go down to your site to borrow books and when it will not be available. This way we wouldn't need to linger around your website like ghouls, trying our luck.

Thank you.
