For some things, streaming makes a lot of sense - at my gf's house it takes 2 hours to download a movie to watch on iTunes, but we can start watching the same movie in about a minute on Netflix or Amazon. For this reason, I think that streaming is often the best way to watch movies (although stream now and download later is even better).
But there is no advantage at all to streaming books - they are tiny files, and you can download an 8 hour book in 15 seconds; streaming something like that would just be a waste of time.
