So, are you also opposed to the idea of ebook rentals, then? That's really what this comes down to.

If the owners of Avatar can rent me a 24 hour license to download and watch their movie, shouldn't HC be able to rent me a license to read an ebook, if that's the business model they want to use? HC has switched from a purchase model to a multiple-use rental model for libraries. [/devils advocate]
