Isnt Amazon working on something so people can lend out books for the Kindle? Thatd be great, I recently got one and would love to lend some out to friends. However theyd come with a time limit and truthfully I dont see the point in that. When a book comes with a time limit it can be more of a pain than anything else. Im reminded of one time I got a book from the library. Actually, many times I got books I got too busy to finish them. Very seldom do I go back and purchase them, they usually just get tossed on my 'To Read' list and forgotten about. I dont know about anyone else but I have quite a large list of books I intend to read someday. Finding its way back on there, half read or not, is a bad thing. Whether I got halfway finished or not doesnt matter because by the time I get it Ill have to start all over again.
Which poses a question. Saying they actually allow book lending how would they do it if its so flawed with a time limit? Just lend it to them and it be like their own copy? Thatd be great BUT what of the 'lost' purchase? They could send it from the original persons Kindle and transfer it to the new one but surely someone would see this 'lending' as a free give away and a 'lost sale'. I doubt theyd ever allow such a thing.
