Depending on a book's popularity it's difficult to determine which deal is better.

$15 for 26 borrows equals at least 130 total borrows for $75 ($15 x 5).

The $85 title would need over 130 borrows to be as price efficient as the $15 one. This could take up to 5 years to work itself out.

If neither title is popular, then paying $15 was the better option.
