Darn! I'll either be canceling my order or selling it on eBay.
Or maybe I'll keep it for a while and see if they bow to pressure and allow books to be lent as many times as the paper equivalent can be...
Here's a novel idea - if they had Bluetooth they could insist that you only lend it to someone you were geographically next to. That way they avoid the "risk" of people lending stuff around the world (of course paperbacks get lent around the world already and I don't think Stephen King or JK Rowling are too worried about that form of viral marketing).
Other than greed I don't understand why they won't accept the paperback model and allow lending.
Sigh.
