Please tell me that you, too, are kidding? Lending, really? Once per book, 14 days, at the publisher's discretion? Almost (but not entirely) completely unlike lending.

Your Kindle Licensing Agreement allows you to share your library among 5 machines. Simply set up your account on dad's machine, and you're good to go.
Yeah, it's like handing over the library key (of five existing copies, for what it's worth) because you want to somebody to read the one book. Makes perfect sense, I suppose.

I very much doubt that. People just don't see, much less encounter, the implications yet. But they will in the not too distant future, you better believe it. And it will be those "but I just want it to work" average joes who will be the most affected.
