Woot was just acquired by amazon. They have the latest Kindle for $150 as today’s woot.
I decided that if ereaders use the idea that itunes has by “authorizing” 5 computers to use the bought music and at any time you can delete and add new computers then I would get them. I’m going to call apple and amazon and see what they say in regards to that. If my main issue is that I cannot lend my books, then this solution would suffice. Those who can use ebooks can borrow my copies and vice versa.
Problem with that is apple stuff only likes to be tied to one pc. So you let your friend authorize his pc so he can dl the book but apple likes to make you transfer the item you already downloaded back onto the pc. So the book will go from your pc to your ipad (or straight to your ipad if you skip the pc part) then you let your friend authorize on his computer and he haso to borrow your device to put it on his pc first but in the process it will delete what he already has on there. so you wont be able to borrow his books. i cant think of an easier way to explain this. I think the only way around it would be to bring in a 3rd pc and have that be a go between but who knows.
