This Lending Library appears to be a promotion for the Kindle Fire. Its an incentive to buy it over the new Nook Color, the iPad and the Coby.

For example, I have 85 eBooks on my Wish List but read just two books at one time. I have them all listed in an Excel Spreadsheet noting the prices and pBook pages. I choose the one to read next by sorting by the most p-pages I get per dollar I spend.

Now, if any are in the new Lending Library, those will be the first ones I read since I can get them at zero cost.

Since the Library only allows one book out at one time, I will have to just read one - not two simultaneously. Plus, they only allow one out per month. However, it takes me a long time to complete so it will probably fit my reading speed.
