Soon after Amazon launched its Kindle lending feature in December 2010, Canadian Catherine MacDonald, sketched out an idea, raised startup capital, hired Web developers and launched , an online Kindle library that matches lenders and borrowers of Kindle e-books. Kindle users must register on the site, then post books they want to lend or submit a request to borrow one 鈥� all free. Though the site is easy to use, Amazon鈥檚 policies are restrictive. Only Kindle books that are lending-enabled can be loaned, they must be loaned by one Kindle user to another, the loan period is 14 days, and each e-book can only be loaned once. Still, it鈥檚 a wonderful way to connect e-book readers across the country and create an e-book community.
