On a completely different note, am I the only one who rented audiobooks back in the day when they were mailed out on tape? I still remember the huge box of tapes I got when I listened to
The Hunt for Red October.

Just googled, and those audiobook rentals are still out there, though they've obviously evolved a bit. I guess I'd say that if the rental model works for publishers of audiobooks, there's a good chance it would work for ebooks.
