I have no problem with that system, provided the fee is reasonable, resembles the oft-quoted cost of loaning a physical book, and can be passed on to the patron. Many libraries charge to borrow DVDs, so it is not as though a pay-per-loan system is incompatible with the library system. Users who do not want to pay the fee should still be able to borrow the physical book.
