How is that good for library patrons?
as I always told my kids when they were getting ready for a new experience; "don't buy trouble". don't you think that there has been a great deal of thought and planning put into this and Amazon has no desire to be a bad guy at the end of the day?

Since nobody outside of Amazon or Overdrive seems to have any details on how and when the Overdrive Kindle lending program will be operated, whether or not it is a bad idea or the best idea evah! remains to be seen.
