As I said in an earlier post, the DRM removal tools will (by design) not remove the DRM used on Amazon's rental books.

I think it's a great idea. Especially for a mainstream author I've not tried yet and whose books are in the $9.99 and up range. Makes me far more likely to try them out, which in turn might expand my reading horizons, not that it isn't broad enough already...

I've been a Netflix customer for a decade. For a year now I've subscribed to music rental services (currently Rdio) where I pay $9.99 and I can download all the music I want to my smartphone, or stream it. It's terrific. No, I don't "own" the music. But since I have no intention of canceling such a wondrous service, it's a moot point.
If such a service popped up for ebooks, for a decent monthly price, with the majority of publishers on board, and access to all the bestsellers/ new releases if not the day of release than within a month or two - I'd be first in line.
