"Normally, making margin notes in library books is a big no-no. But we're extending our Whispersync technology so that you can highlight and add margin notes to Kindle books you check out from your local library. Your notes will not show up when the next patron checks out the book. But if you check out the book again, or subsequently buy it, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced." It's about time they made borrowing books from the library possible. The best part is that it keeps your notes. I wish the lending feature where you lend books you own to another Kindle user allowed both the lender and lendee to see each other's notes. And, unlike lending between users, this library lending is going to allow borrowing the same book multiple times. What a novel idea. Stupid Amazon. By min | April 20, 2011, 2:16 PM | Boooooks | Link |
