If Amazon made it easier for people to borrow books from the library, I bet they will be shouting it from roof tops..

I see no evidence around here that what you're saying is true.
The lending was a 'Meh' for most Kindle folks when B&N had it and it's a 'Meh' now that Kindle has it. It was simply one feature bullet that the nook had, and now they both have it. Give people a new feature, even a Meh one, and some folks will be happy to use it.
For library books, many people have been saying they wish Kindle had supported ADE library lending all along.
What's the big surprise there if they were to be happy if they got it?
I certainly would prefer it if it was a supported feature, despite the fact that easily doable as is.
