I’ve wanted a Kindle for a while now, ok basically since they have come out, but one thing more than anything else has been holding me back; you can’t share books. However, according to this article that may be changing. According to the article “Amazon will allow Kindle users to lend books to each other for 14-day periods” with the restrictions that the “lenders will not be able to access the book on loan during the 14-day period, nor will they be able to loan the book to the same user more than once.” While I am not positive that i could find the time to read most books I would borrow in 14 days, it would certainly give me more incentive to find more time to read. While not all books will be available to lend, this is dependent on publishers and right holders, but it is a big step closer to making me cave and buy one. Original Kindle Community post.
