That's the concept of the HarperCollins model. After 26 check-outs, the book can no longer be loaned without purchasing it again, in part to mimic the decay that occurs when a paperbook is repeatedly loaned.
However, some librarians have really disputed that 26 figure.
I imagine that library books have an average lifespan and the cost can be made roughly equivelent to e-books. So an e-book might therefore be leased for a period of time equal to the life span of physical copy at the same price.
