As someone who travels extensively, and often stays in small guest houses, I can say that every one of them has ALWAYS had several shelves of books for its guests to take and leave... Many different languages, genres, conditions, etc., but always 3-4 filled shelves. And that's ALL it takes to maintain the library.
To do the same with e-books would require a dedicated computer (or two; Mac and PC) with great anti-virus protection, someone to maintain it, someone to to be sure that there were no books still protected by copyright, etc., etc., etc.
While a nice idea, the implementation would be horrendous!
