Some very good points Darryl. It amazes me that the music industry has already thrashed out a lot of this "download/DRM/piracy" issue already, yet booksellers want to reinvent the wheel. Why not have a paid subscription service like many people use for music and videos? Like a public library but with a small monthly fee. Or a one-off borrowing fee for a month's loan. I know you raise some doubts about the viability of these services, but with millions of people worldwide using such a service it would be hard not to make a profit (and even Apple now has this type of service and they don't do anything unless they make money).
