Hi James
If you 'turn' the pages too quickly the system thinks you are printing the pages rather than reading them and will throw you out. From my limited knowledge I understand that there is a bit of software that users can set up to turn and print pages ( so print a book without having to do this for themselves) so the publishers have set up their own software to spot people doing this and throw you out.
If you turn pages at a normal reading speed there should be no problem.
I think this is right but if anyone else out there knows more I would be interested to know. This is what I tell users while I am training so I want to know if I am wrong!

>Hello,
>
>Has anyone experienced being 'locked out' of an e-book on MyiLibrary?
>
>A user here had been using it for a while (over an hour I think but am not sure) and then found that each time she tried to go to a new page a box popped up saying the title was blocked until a certain time (about 30 mins)
>
>So, does MyiLibrary have a time limit, eg. to prevent you from copying large chunks of books?
