Lendle. The easiest, fastest, fairest, and best way to lend and borrow Kindle™ books.

This is a really nice idea and brings the social web another step closer. If a fellow Lendler requests a book you own, you’ll get a notification asking if you want to lend it. When you lend a book, the borrower will have it for 14 days, and then it will be automatically returned to your Kindle.

Don’t forget that you don’t need a Kindle to read Kindle books; you can run Kindle on iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone and Android.

Featuring interviews with, among others, The Designers Republic, Allen Hori, Rick Valicenti, Vaughan Oliver, Mr. Keedy, Ed Fella, and essays by Lorraine Wild, Anne Burdick, Zuzana Licko, Kenneth FitzGerald, Andrew Blauvelt, Kalle Lasn, Rick Poynor and many more.
