Lend your Kindle Book: New program from Amazon

I received an e-mail from Amazon Digital Books this week telling about the new Kindle e-book progam that allows Kindle book owners to lend copies of their downloaded books. Barns and Noble Nook owners have had that ability for some time. It is a neat feature. I'm glad that the Kindle has come aboard. If you have a Kindle and have purchased an e-edition Kindle copy of my novel The Ruin, Japanese non-fiction book Gaijin! Gaijin! or Jim Henson's Pee Up a Tree from Amazon check with Amazon to see how to enable that feature. It makes having an e-book more flexible and lets you loan one out to a family member much as you do a print copy.
