I don't see how the shipping costs could ever be low enough for that to make sense. Even after my organization's massive UPS discounts, shipping a paperback one state over still costs $4.30. Would you rather spend five bucks to rent a used book or fifteen to buy a new one?

USPS offers media and library rates, which goes as low as $2.20 for any zone. That'd still be $4.40 round trip though.
