UPDATE 9/21/11: Kindle Library Lending is here! More Details
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you see the Amazon announcement this week about the "Launch of Library Lending for Kindle Books"?
Complete details aren't yet available - in their press release, Amazon says "Kindle Library Lending will be available later this year" - but before the end of 2011 we expect you will be able to browse for eBook titles on any desktop or mobile operating system, check out a title with a library card, and then select Kindle as the delivery destination. The Kindle eBook titles borrowed from a library will carry the same rules and policies as all our other eBooks.
We'll let you know all the details, as soon as we learn more!
