That's a bit of an over-generalization, isn't it? It's a very common business model in the online music industry, though the stream the files rather than letting you download them. It only makes sense that ebooks would follow suit and offer a subscription based service. What better way to guarantee revenue than "if you stop paying us you lose access to all the books"?
And on that note, it's very likely that the books will have some form of DRM, that makes them inaccessible if you stop paying for them.
