so the check for

how do you return a book to free up a slot within your 10 - can you do that from any connected device or app?
& are are the no time limits like for normal libraries - so someone needing textbooks could if they had them, take out the best 10 & keep them for a full yet ?
I guess they will have some velocity check under the bonnet, as Overdrive has, I have never managed to trigger that, but I read it locks you out temporarily if you churn books like crazy. Some muppet is bound to try borrowing & copying all 600,000 books with a 30 day trial window via some auto script, if there's no restriction.
From all I have read so far, it seems they are NOT using the prime lending tech as a basis for this new service. Prime lending is to real kindle hardware only, there's no way to get the loan onto K4PC , or into an app on a on Kindle tablet, and you have to go to amazon web site to return a book. I wonder if they will quietly drop the prime service, no sense really in running both & confusing for customers if they work differently
