Over the years, I have attended several sessions at ALA and other
conferences about collecting ebook usage statistics.  Those sessions always
seemed to be focused on how to collect or the mechanics of collecting, not
how to use the statistics.

Is anyone using ebook usage statistics for collection purposes?  Weeding
purposes?  (Currently we are not removing any ebook titles from our
catalog).  Decision making purposes?

I am trying to determine what useful, actionable information I can get out
of my ebook statistics.
