This remains to be seen. But on the part of Amazon, pretty shrewd idea.
Amazon on Wednesday announced that it will offer library lending for Kindle ebooks. While this announcement was met with much rejoicing, it was made with little specifics. For example, the program lacks a public launch date. When, exactly, will libraries offer ebooks for the Kindle?
According to Amazon’s press release, “later this year.” Oh, ok. So, what other specifics were devulge? Not that much.
One thing that makes this announcement of great significance is that at the macro level, Amazon maybe openning up the Kindle on multiple fronts to be an e-reader that can borrow and share books.
Pretty cool, i see. But you still got to won a kindle, right? Or an e-reader with the Kindle installed until libraries starts to lend Kindles also.
This remains to be seen. But on the part of Amazon, pretty shrewd idea.
