The Kindle completely dominates the UK eBook market, and unfortunately library lending is not currently available on the Kindle in the UK.

What's with the logical fallacies, man?
Again, please explain to me why your baseless assumption that people don't use their rights logically means that it is no big deal to take their rights away. I've never used my right to attorney. Should it be taken?
Another face-palmer here. Kindle doesn't do it, where you are specifically, therefore it doesn't exist? The guy was asking as a general concept - he wasn't asking about what your friends do for whatever reason. Responding as you did is a complete non-sequitur. Does anything exist outside you, besides a 5-foot radius directly around your body and your own assumptions?
Hey, guess what! Your assumptions and narrow experiences are not the same thing as facts or even good argumentation! Getting Kindle library books is super easy where I am!
You can get library books in various formats from the county public library here, including for the Kindle. It's perfectly accessible to Kindle-users. In fact. in this country, over 11,000 libraries support Kindle as of this past April.
Given how heavily the US outweighs the UK in both sheer numbers and percentage of people using ebooks (more than twice over, so imagine how big the sheer numbers difference is), I hardly think it qualifies as useful to take something that currently applies to one very small small sector of the market, and wipe it across the entire board by using it as a response to a general question.
I try not to do that by focusing too much on the US because I'm not a jingo, but doing it with a considerably smaller market segment is even more illogical.
Hey, P.S., I've yet to see you address the counters to any of your arguments.
