<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I cannot verify this statement, but Counter 4 seems to counting usage quite differently than Counter 3. In particular, I’m concerned about e-book usage. Our e-book use numbers have dropped dramatically, more
than 50% less, after Counter 4 implementation. I do not believe e-books have stopped being used, but if I believe the stats I should stop buying them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone seen a difference in the statistics you were collecting before vendors went to counter compliant? For example a vendors’ search numbers were very high in one year, and almost one half that the next year. Your help would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
