Great idea - I think that is what they are trying with 26 checkouts. Except they are charging full price (I assume, don't know). 26 checkouts wouldn't even last a year for popular books - at least I return them the earlier of when I finish reading or the due date.
I think the publishers are so scared by ebooks and what happened with the music industry, they aren't thinking straight. I understand that you have to make your money with concerts now, no one makes money on just the CD.
Oh, but what do I know . . .
