Yeah, it sounds like a "leasing" system, basically. I can see the value in it: access to the books on any computer, no clutter in the house, easy to stop the subscription once your child outgrows the books. I've heard many people on these forums asking for a leasing ebook option that was cheaper than the price of buying a single ebook.
But I don't think this is for my child. (Granted, she's 10 months old, so this is a lot premature on my part...) For now she's more interested in the book as a physical object, essentially a toy she can touch and look at the colorful pictures. As she gets older, I'll want her to have the ability to take the books in the car. The Vtech or something similar to it, essentially a rugged version of an ereader, is more what I'll be in the market for.
