And, after a certain number of borrows, no fees taken out of the per-book-borrowed payout.
Also borrowers should not be able to check out over a certain amount a month. Even borrowing to try and then abandoning a book, wouldn't, say, 50 borrows a month be enough to cover that kind of habit?
These solutions seem simple, and maybe are too simple, but something needs to be done.

A 300 page book makes less than $1.50 per borrow. It may be down to $1 now. The pay per page is less than a half a cent per page.
