I randomly came across Book Rental Fail on the Failblog, which struck me as hilarious and sad at the same time:

Was just thinking. My sister does a lot of reading, and spends like $1000 a year just on books alone. Most of them she reads once then never looks at again. Is there any kind of like video rental store … but for books? Would make things a lot cheap, plus once one person has read one the next person can get enjoyment from it etc.

We do have such a thing; it’s called a Library!!

   I guess there are online libraries available from where you can rent a book. Even you can sell used books at ebay.
