True. They haven't announced a start date for that scheme yet, though, and what they are proposing will be much the same as B&N's loan scheme, where each book can only be loaned once, ever, and for a fixed 2 week period, so very limited.
I just thought of something else though - it's now possible to buy a book as a gift for someone else who has a Kindle. As long as both people are in the same country (so don't run into problems re geographic restrictions), it means one person can buy the book, but it goes on the other person's Amazon account and is keyed to the other person's Kindle.
