This draws an obvious parallel to movies. Paying a rental for a book is the same as attending the movie house and watching a movie. You only get the material one time and must rely on memories for future review of the movie.
Buy a DVD and you are purchasing the right to watch the movie as many times as you like, just as you can reread a book as many times as you like if own it.
Unless there was a compelling reason I had to purchase a very expensive book, I would choose the rental in the case of a high cover price.
