Someone needs to start a lending library program (forum thread? website?) where people list books they want to read and give an email address, and people who have already bought said books can use up their "single loan coupon" for a stranger. I'm not sure there'd ever be enough participants or eligible books to make it work, but it'd be a nice way to share with others.
I've started a Facebook group for that purpose. Admittedly, "Kindle Book Lending Club" is a lame name, but I took all of 10 seconds to set it up.
