Re:Show HN: Rent my library for $10/book with no due date by hondish on Monday November 27, 2017 @12:10AM (#15785003)
Interesting, I'm curious about the Netflix model for books, especially if it involved a nice space where you might connect with others, and where you might also make your own library available. Many enjoy reading physical books, but storage is a problem. What would a 'gym for your mind' with a subscription model look like? If you put the best bits of a café, a library, and a gym into a blender, what might come out? BTW, typo in your third slide, 'receive' not 'recieve'.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I like where your thoughts are, there is a version of this combination where I live, where most large bookstores will partner with Starbucks and have a cafe in-house. I sometimes buy a coffee just to sit for a while and read.

If I can validate the demand-side, the next step could be to allow users to rent their own libraries to increase the variety available.
