Much as I normally oppose DRM, yes, I think this is a reasonable use of it. (Though I wonder how many people would continue to try to use the file after their loan had expired anyway?) I hope, however, that a broadly supported scheme for which readers are available for many hardware/OS platforms is used, not something that can only be read on one platform (be it Windows or Kindle or whatever).
