Our local Senior Center loans out Kindles and it is an extremely popular program. I've seen the pamphlet they hand out and their is a suggestion that if it is possible you return the Kindle along with a small donation and a suggestion of what book you'd like purchased on the account next - but they don't require it.
I think the program was originally set up with a grant from a local foundation. I find it interesting because while our library has Overdrive the books 1. Generally cost more than Amazon/Barnes and Noble etc and 2. Have limited availability thanks to such wonderful Publishers such as Macmillan and Simon and Schuster withholding content.
After the announcement last night I was wondering if they'd attempt to add some new WiFi only Kindles on at the cheaper prices. There's no need for 3G since the devices mostly remain unregistered.
