Admittedly, I can't see why anyone would buy into such an idea, but just because I (or you) can't see a way to do it, doesn't mean no-one else can see a way to do it.

That's what Kobo and Google's online-only books is. I think it's how Zinio works. It's how some university's digital textbooks work -- you must be online, logged into our servers, to read these books. Admittedly, you could share your password, but that's your *entire* account's password; you can't give a person access to one book.
