It is a user-driven collection model with the latest user getting to read the book of their choice as well as browse the books selected by previous borrowers. We have all walked into a library to get a book, only to find out the library doesn't have it. Now the librarian can say "Would you like us to download that book to a Kindle so you can have it today?"

The register/de-register method sounds like it's too much work. Wouldn't it be easier to control the ebook purchases by enabling and disabling the credit card? Plus, if you keep all the Kindles registered to the account, any new ebook could be sent to all the Kindles over Whispernet simultaneously.
