Comment on Amazon to offer Library Lending to Kindle through Overdrive

Comments

This is really awesome. I realize there will be limitations with the borrowing (despite the fact that they are digital books, there will be a limited number of "copies" available to be distributed at a given time), but that's totally understandable. I do hope, however, that you don't have to actually be at the library to download the books, that it can be done remotely.

If they throw a full functioning OS, like Android, on the next Kindle, keeping it at it's current size, I'm all there.

They have that already, but Amazon doesn't make it and it's called the Nook Color. I've got one and am using it more than my iPad.
