Amazon has announced plans to make e-books rentable. Yup, just like library books. Although we'll always hold a special place in our hearts for bound books and a shelf to display our well loved collection, e-readers take up less space and resources. They're also oftentimes more affordable!

I think this is a great service and look forward to seeing how it develops. Many public libraries allow ebook rentals for free. I think the Amazon service will be great for rentals of specialized materials not available through public libraries like textbooks.
@ KWood also for those of us in cities, hopefully this will mean getting titles earlier than several months wait! I love the New York Public Library, but I am still waiting for eBooks from March.
