Interesting article about how a former BitTorrent junkie is now perfectly happy to Netflix the movies he wants. Perhaps there's a lesson here for publishers....

I guess they realized "some" of the errors of their ways.

Another attempt at becoming the Netflix of books.

Bookswim aims to be Netflix for books. Comments on this article from book authors are worth reading.

This seems like a pretty fabulous idea to me from the student side....I could see why publishers probably aren't terribly thrilled though. (I'd be interested to see an adaptation for renting e-books, which isn't mentioned in the article as being extant...yet, anyway). Netflix for textbooks, indeed!
