Re: Amazon Kindle's "Loan to anybody"

This sort of controlled sharing is not a bad thing. A lot of people yell and
scream. I am much more offended by the way Amazon went about not notifying
publishers ahead of time and the way they are singling out people selling at
the 70% royalty as not being able to opt out...yet another down side to the
70%. But the sharing itself, I believe is a good idea.

It's less sharing than either eLibWise or Nook sharing, both of which I
support already.
