I've been suggesting a subscription book service ever since I joined this group. And the Kindle is uniquely positioned to operate this way (remote load/delete from a large distributer). But I don't see any indications of such a service incubating today.

And what role should local public libraries play in that? Should they pay for "x" active copies of an e-book to be loaned out to library members for a limited length of time, like a DIVX movie? They would be poised to economically ruin any commercial subscription scheme. Public libraries probably do need to play a role in e-book commerce, no?
