Why are so many books listed as "Borrow Unavailable" at the Internet Archive?
Summary - More than 500,000 books have been taken out of lending as a result of Hachette v. Internet Archive, the publishers’ lawsuit against our library, including more than 1,300 banned and challenged books.

The injunction does not affect our accessibility program—the removed books are still available to patrons with print disabilities. Hachette Book Group HarperCollins Penguin Random House Wiley
