Kindle to Add Library Lending Feature MORE THAN 11,000 LIBRARIES HAVE SIGNED UP By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff newser.com ( If I can get free library books, sign me up for a Kindle! I'm confused though - my library has n copies of a book (3-4 for really popular books) - will Kindle preserve this limitation? If not, who will ever BUY books? ) Posted Apr 20, 2011 2:40 PM CDT (NEWSER) – Kindle users will be able to go to the virtual library soon. A new feature scheduled to launch later this year will allow anyone with a Kindle (or a phone with the Kindle app) to download e-books from their local libraries for free for a limited span of time, USA Today reports. Library e-books have been available to users of Barnes & Noble's Nook and Sony's Reader, and the Kindle Library Lending Feature brings Amazon in line with those rivals, notes the Financial Times. “We’re doing a little something extra here,” says Amazon’s Kindle director. “Normally, making margin notes in library books is a big no-no,” but with the Kindle, you can highlight text and add notes to your heart’s content—and if you ever check out the book again, all those notes, and any bookmarks you’ve placed, will be intact. Other borrowers won't see them.

You're right. It is totally not illegal. I don't know what "line" you're talking about. These people are not flaunting their lack of belief in the democratic process at all. The memo clearly supports the democratic process to the hilt. You really don't get it, do you? I used to think you were playing dumb.....now I really it has little to do with playing. How about sending an email with a photo of Obama looking like a monkey? Do you get that? How much do you really understand about the world, dave?
