I never saw the highly-restrictive nook lending "feature" to be a big plus for the nook. And now Amazon, rather than offering something better, will just be matching the competition rather than offering something better.

That's what disappoints me. Amazon is not leading here, it is following. And I expect better from Amazon. They are supposed to be the leader. If they could have just made the lending period 21 days (like my local library) or allowed lending to at least three people, even if it was one-at-a-time, then I would applaud them. As it is it's just a "me-too" feature. So for all the people who don't understand why the reaction is so negative, here's my explanation.
