I also wouldn't mind a $1-$2 e-book rental of some sort. So far I can't replace 1-time reads with $8 ebooks. I'm doing ebay instead for those. At least I can give it away or trade it in to my local used book store if I don't like it.

Generally I can find a used 1st edition hardcover shipped to my door for less than the ebook price. It's kind of absurd.
It's beyond absurd. And, until ebooks are available DRM free at a reasonable price (same profit margin as p-books), I'll keep buying, chopping, and scanning p-books.
