I would like to hear more about how the books are shareable. I can share my books with up to 6 people with Kindle but I have to register them to my account. I wish I had better details about the workings, though. I've gotten the impression from other users that the license follows the Kindle and remains even if you delete that Kindle from your account and register it to a different account. A poster some time ago said he bought a used Kindle and the books from the previous owner remained even after re-registering and connecting to Amazon. I doubt he would have the ability to re-download but they weren't deleted. I haven't seen verification of this from Amazon but they have said that the license isn't removable from a device, so it seems like it might be true. If I have downloaded a copy of a book for a given Kindle and then de-register it, that license does not return to my license pool. That's why they say you can have as many Kindles as you like on your account but only 6 can have any given book. Am I to take it there is some more flexible way of temporarily registering different devices with the Cool-er? Do they actually let you donate your license to a library when you're done or sell it to someone else? That would be massively cool despite the overall lameness of the device.
Anyway, two of my biggest issues with this thing weren't mentioned: the books are a good deal more expensive and they inflate the number of titles in their marketing speak. Bad form showing the search for HP books coming up empty. Not like Amazon has them, either.
