A New Kindle Twist

Here we go with yet another twist in the continuing evolution of ebooks, ereaders, and libraries.  Apparently, Amazon is launching a "Kindle Library" service that will allow loans of Kindle books through a library that subscribes.  You can read the Amazon press release here.  The down side I see here is that they are working with OverDrive to provide this service.  My feelings about OverDrive are ambivalent at best.  This is a "library service" company that rarely seems to have library service in mind.  The talk a big game about how they create virtual library services for libraries to use, but they do not seem to make a tremendous effort to make the process of actually using the services easy for library patrons.  Amazon, on the other hand has made a great success of easy downloads of not only books, but music too.
