Re:Kindle gets library book lending

I believe you can lend, to friends or family or whomever, if the publisher allows, and for whatever time frame the publisher permits (I've only seen two weeks as the limit, but the wording is such that it may vary). The inconvenience is that if you lend a book to someone else, you lose the ability to read it until you get it back.

Same as with a real book. I think the limits we're all used to with physical objects seem, in some cases, a bit less onerous than weird, arbitrary ones. "I bought it, I should be able to do what I want with my copy".
