Amazon must be counting their blessings there wasn't a way for people to borrow & lend physical books or else there's no way they could have built a business around selling them!
- awj 16y agoI didn't know there was a website where I could borrow and lend physical books to random people across the world with the click of a button, absolutely no shipping fees, and a rock-solid 14 day return policy. Does that site exist, or are you exploiting the (obviously false) "ebooks are books" train of thought for a pithy comment?

- btucker 16y agoWorld-wide you might be right. But in the US for about the last 30 years you can borrow any book you want 100% free straight from your computer (albeit usually with a 2-3 day wait) thanks to the magic of inter-library loan.
