Sub-forum for LendMe Book Sharing?

irishtexmex · 07-14-2010, 12:58 AM

I feel that the LendMe feature of the Nook is a celebrated, yet completely underused feature of the device. Mobileread is the largest forum I've found for ereader enthusiasts, and I feel that when acting together we could compile quite a library of books.

There could be two subforums, one for books that you have that are Lendable and one for books that you are looking to borrow--OR--There could be a Request only forum and people would respond if they have the book. Once a book has been lent out, you let the person know and have a mod delete the thread/change the subject/let it drift into oblivion/etc.

I'm sure that people would be on board for this, yes?

I have suggested a couple of sticky's as well but were ignored.

I think the Lend Me sticky would be great.

This sounds like an excellent idea. Hopefully, we can get it started.

I would say every report this post and in the message request it to be a sticky

Is there some reason to do this separate from BooksForNooks?

It seems to me that one big clearing-house site is better than a bunch of small ones.

I wasn't aware of the existence of that site.. regardless, in my opinion, MR would be a better platform for the LendMe sharing, mainly because of its larger community..

Nor I. Thank you for the heads up. I will be linking anyone who asks me something similar to there from now on.
