Oy Vey.
You know why netflix didn't happen before everyone had DVD players? Because VHS tapes are bulky and heavy. They cost more to send, and don't fit through many letter boxes. I can't imagine how you can possibly do this with any reasonable profit margin, and it isn't any more convenient than simply buying the books.
