Any book lover knows about the unique new e-books, specifically the nook and the kindle. E-book stands for electronic book. It is a screen with no pages to flip. Imagine book lovers that do not have to go to the library to borrow a book. Imagine not worrying about late fees. I am excited to tell Kindle owners that Amazon is starting a library for kindles that allow you to borrow a book for 3 weeks before it disappears from your screen. The technology will be powered by OverDrive, which currently offers services for iPad and iPhone owners. Kindle has not released an exact start date, nor is it known if all cities will receive the service on the same day.
On Kindles you can take notes and highlight words in the book. Now it will not be illegal to highlight or make notes in a library book because it is electronic. After the 3 week period if the reader checks out the book again, or decides to buy the book, the notes will still be there. Other readers will not be able to see the notes at all. The only thing kindle owners have to do is be a part of a library that cooperates with Amazon and read the book before 3 weeks is up.
