There are certainly some advantages to the "rental" concept... particularly if you know that

A. You have enough time to read the book before the rental is over, and
B. You know (in advance) that you won't want to keep the book.

Personally, I'd rather keep the file, to reread at my leisure next year, or next decade. And if you're going to rent, the price damn well better be cheaper than buying.
