No doubt you are playing "Devil's Advocate" here, but exactly how can you tell that a library patron has a "stack of novels".......even if you could read the title of the topmost book????
Perhaps under the top novel, they have a stack of research books.....?? Just saying.

Unless you have X-Ray vision???

My guess is that these are very speedy readers....or perhaps they are getting books for a housebound spouse or other family member.

This is what's great about KINDLE.......if you begin a certain book and do not care for it, you simply return it for a refund. Often, we both are reading several books at one time.......some on our older Kindle and some on our newer Kindle Fire......in different levels of our home.

I guess having 4 Kindles in the house would constitute the "modern" stack of library novels. When our adult kids come home, there are even more of these wonderful devices around............
