A really quick used book search for the top 3 books resulted:

Sapiens: $12.87

Chaos Monkeys: $6.69

Creativity Inc: $7.50

Not sure why I'd ever pay $10 for a rental.

Looks like shipping is free, so there's that.

Also, prices are different if you look on Amazon.ca. (Sapiens: $15.21, Chaos Monkeys: $12.86, Creativity Inc: $17.99) So, assuming that the .ca domain means this is a service that's meant primarily for Canadian users, and the rental fee is CAD$10, that makes it look a bit more attractive.

You're right, it is primarily meant for Canadian users, where the average price for the paperbacks listed is $20-30 including shipping. This is similar to the retail price in-store.
