Borrowing Books with the Kindle

Hi,

it's a while ago since I bothered with the tech-part of my Kindle. I basically used it for reading
I have a 3rd edition Kindle with an amazon.com account but live in Germany where I have another account with amazon.de. I have Prime membership in Germany not in the US.

So today I went to my library (the old fashioned one, yes) and found out that they are lending eBooks. I got super excited only to find out that they use Adobe DRM which I cannot use.
I googled some more and found out that there is the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. I got excited again only to learn that it is only for US-Prime members.

Does anybody know how I can borrow books without buying a Prime membership in the US? I definitely don't need two ones!
Are there any other lending services I could use?

I hope some of you can share their experience with me, thanks!
