Kindle Library Lending

April 21, 2011

Yesterday, Amazon announced “Kindle Library Lending,” a new feature coming later this year that will allow users to go to their local libraries and “check out” books to their Kindle.  The eBooks can be kept for about the same amount of time as a normal library book.  The users can take notes in the margin, which, if they decide to buy the book or check it out again, will still be there.  Technology!
