Rent books from Google
Check out this article I came across:
Google shares were up as much as 1% at $393.77 after The Wall Street Journal reported the company is discussing a plan to allow consumers to rent and view online copies of books for a week. Under the plan, Google’s proposed fee would be 10% of the book’s list price, and books wouldn’t be downloadable or printable.
Interesting business model…kind of an itunes store meets <num>-use DVDs (there are lots out there and many have been discussed by large players like Disney and Sony.
