Is it possible to rent ebooks (similar to Overdrive?)
I know there are lots of places to buy ebooks, but is there anywhere that I can rent them instead of a monthly fee? My library has overdrive and I can get ebooks from there, but their selection is a bit limited. I've looked on other library overdrive websites and they seem to have more of what I want - but of course, since I'm not a resident of that county, there's nothing I can do.

I would gladly pay a monthly fee to rent X books at a time. I really don't like the idea of purchasing them since I know I will only read them once and put them away.

Does any service like this exist? I know they have services to rent other digital goods - like music. Why not ebooks?
