I agree that renting is not buying, only many of us are fine with renting because what we like is the experience of reading the book, not the security of ownership, most of the time. If you want to read it again, you can always borrow it again or buy it, but 80% of books I read I don't reread so I'm not too concerned about ownership when balanced with price. I always prefer to borrow books from the library to buying them unless they're my #1 authors (or I can't get them from the library as happens a lot).
