The premise: Audible/Netflix for ebooks (probably ePUB)

The question: What features would be most valuable if you were to rent ebooks?
The main points for me :
Afordable
Format my e-reader can read.
DRM that don't make the renting prosses a pain. While unlike bought e-book, i understand the reason rented books have drm it shouldn't make it hard for the reader to rent book. In other word, renting a book shall be easy.
