It's not $10. It $10 PER MONTH. They are hoping to turn people who don't spend that much per month already into people who do. Some people might spend less then they currently do, but many of those who buy ebooks would not choose to keep paying for them each month.
Theoretically.
We'll see how it does.
p.s. Also, it occurs to me that those people who get their panties in bunch over "buy/rent/lease" semantics for the current common licensing model will now get a taste of the real difference and can see how they like it.
