Sure there will be some, but given that this not going to be a cheap operation for Amazon (at least not any way that I can see), I don't think it's a viable marketing strategy. I think they're going to spend way more implementing this than they'll ever make back from directly increased sales. Plus you have to factor in all the people who will be borrowing books rather than buying them.
I think this is about selling Kindles, and eventually more ebooks, rather than a possible immediate gain in ebook sales.
