Whether or not a person will re-read a book has popped into conversation before on these forums. I wonder if there is room for sellers to make use of this. Sell ebooks with strong restrictions - presumably more cheaply, essentially on the assumption you will read once and discard, but keep records so that buying a second loan of the same book is much cheaper, in support of those that do re-read. Sort like a "user-pays" system, those that make the most use of a book pay the most. Not that this would appeal to me, I think that any book I like enough to want to re-read I will probably buy in paper.
