First, if it is a digital copy why do we have to wait? There is no limit to the amount of digital copies you can have for free. Second, since you can't renew right away and a lot of the time the point where you can renew is a weekend (This affects school kids) and by the time you are back at school to renew you have lost the book and have to wait another 3 weeks. I'm waiting 3 weeks to get a book. There is no use of this app unless you are in the H.R.C.E. (Halifax Regional Centre for Education) or any other school district that supplies it to you.
