KINDLE TO REPLACE LIBRARIES??
In October 2010 Amazon.com announced that they would be adding a lending option for Kindle, their popular eBook reader, by the end of the year. Not to be left at the gate, the founder of the popular Nook lending site (BooksForNooks.com), immediately launched BooksForMyKindle.com to provide Kindle owners the same sharing experience that the Nook owners had enjoyed for over a year. BooksForNooks.com is "the original" eBook lending site and was the brainchild of Leonard Sixt, a self-employed technology consultant from Tampa, Florida. As soon as he heard about the Amazon announcement, BooksForMyKindle was born. Even though the lending feature wasn't added to Kindle until December 30th, 2010, BooksForMyKindle was taking on members in anticipation of the software updates that would allow Kindle owners to share books with each other. Membership on both sites is totally free.
