I really hope B&N manage to get the publishers support for ebook lending. I wouldn't be as opposed to paying paperback prices if I get the same rights as a paperback, ie lending out or selling on.
Even if it's US only initially, that doesn't preclude later deals with distributors abroad to market the device and may put a bit of pressure on existing eBook device sellers to implement a similar feature. Colour screen + lending books would be two pretty key features.
