That's true but idle books are worth next to nothing just sitting around and most people who are dishonest would find more lucrative ways to make money. The site could screen for repeat offenders. I have a pile of computer/internet technology and programming books that I am staring at right now that I can't get anything more out of and would be glad to sell or swap for some others. After reading these, the books are hardly worse for wear and probably have a few meaningfull notes, highlighted parts and dog eared pages that will add a little value for the next reader. As the community of internet users at sites such as Lycos and Yahoo! grows into more millions, this could become increasingly viable.
