It should be entirely possible for Amazon to allow people to "check out" a book to browse. If the library can do it for three weeks, Amazon could do it for the 15 or 20 minutes it would take to see if a book fit your needs.

Amazon already gives you a sample chapter. That should be enough.
I would also point out that Amazon is a business and as such are not going to work like your local library.
