Do we have a lending thread?

What the title says I understand we have the memorial library and ebook uploads for PD books. was wondering if we will have a lending thread for lending-enabled ebooks

Sounds like something for the moderators to decide. Personally, I like the idea. I have some 100+ books sitting in my Kindle account that I'd be willing to lend, provided there is something I'd like to borrow.

It does however, have the potential to turn into a nightmare for the moderators, unless there are some strict non-negotiable rules set up from the start.

Not withstanding that possibility, I think it is an idea worth pursuing.

for moment, i forgot about the reciprocity (sp?) concept. the communities i belong to just have a lending thread up; the thread consists of rules when borrowing, and there is no reciprocity needed, but of course, it's nice to share the love ! we usually pm other members from whom we'd like to borrow, and it's up to the latter to decide if they want to lend or not. amiable lenders have a shelf (on goodreads) called 'lendables' or kindle-lendables, or nook-lendables, what have you, where they put the books they want to lend.
