Interesting! That's cheaper than an amazon 'e-book', and when you're done with it you can give the book away to the next person.

Yes, but Scribd E-books can be copied in the blink of the eye and without exchanging any money at all.

DRM, sure you could copy a book who's copyright has expired, but there have been DRM issues with those too. Also many people, me included, prefer the feel of paper.
