What we need to do is figure out a way to set up a "market" for loaning books. It appears that loaning will be as simple as knowing their email address associated with BN account. If that is the case we should be able to set up a system where "friends" can loan to other "friends" in the pool. What we would need to make sure is the ratio of books loaned out vs. being loaned to is 1:1 (otherwise someone could take advantage of the system). This would allow those like me who take more than 14 days to read a book to borrow the same book from 2 different people consecutively (extending the loan period to 28 days). This system could essentially double the amount of books you read for the money (and if that is the case, any Kindle Book pricing advantage goes away).

Kind of complicated. Wouldn't it be easier to check it out from the library if you don't want to buy it?
