Exactly! Over a year old - and still NOTHING!

Honestly, this type of sh!+ only promotes piracy (as does books not being available to Canadians on Amazon), so why not do everything they can to make the e-reading experience model the paper-reading experience? Part of the fun of reading books is to lend them to friends and enjoy discussing. Now I can only 'recommend' my favs to friends on Goodreads and then discover that they haven't read them because they don't want to buy the book and it's not available/waitlist too long at the library. Sigh....
