- riffraff 16y agoI was thinking of the first news post about lending being possible on the kindle, where there was a small thread on the possibility of building a _market_ for lending, but I don't have the relevant url at hand.
- flatline 16y agoNot to rain on the parade, but I predicted this about 30 seconds after I heard of the Nook's lending capabilities. The first obstacle is the TOS for the lending service (unknown), the second came later when they announced a book could only be lent once. I would love to see it take off but I'm really skeptical that the publishers would let anything like this slide.
