Randolph LaLonde & BearMountainBooks -
I posted earlier that I like the SmashWords model.
What I want IN ADDITION is the option to rent. Rent at 25% of purchase price. I don't need a collection of eBooks that I have no legal right to share nor to sell. I seldom reread books.
With rental the seller MUST have DRM. And for rental for up to 2 weeks - I don't care. In 2 weeks I am unlikely to change software or hardware. With purchase I DO CARE about DRM - and I don't want it.
Yes, I know this is moot with respect to SmashWords.com, but, rental and purchase models work well together with video. Why not eBooks? Why not subscription models too?
