This is great news for the mom of at least one Engadget editor (who
has been despairing at her inability to share e-books with Aunt
Kathy). That's right: Amazon has enabled Kindle book loaning on select
titles. Of course, there are caveats: books can be loaned only once,
for a period of fourteen days. As you'd suspect, the loaned books can
be read using the e-reader itself or the free Kindle app for any of
your various devices (including iOS, BlackBerry, Android, PC, and
Mac). While a book is being borrowed you can't read it yourself, and
the publisher has the final word on which titles are eligible for
lending. Exciting, right? At least as exciting as the opportunity to
finally discover what The Secret Life of Bees might be.
