Someone would have to be in charge of managing the money and making sure that it was being used for its intended purpose, not a small job, but I think it would be really cool!

Has available/requests/etc. with points systems as credits. Books would be ranked by the community (assigned a value) and when you make yours available, you earn points to spend. I'll post the link to the DVD swapping site once I can dig it out of the dusty corner of my mind that I filed it away in. There’s a DVD sharing network similar to this, may be a good model to go by.

The shipping costs are then mitigated... DRM can be a pain in the neck, so be careful. Publishing companies might be able to help out, it could be worth asking them.
