Customers will be able to borrow Kindle books from over 11,000 local libraries to read on Kindle and free Kindle reading apps Whispersyncing of notes, highlights and last page read to work for Kindle library books
Wow, in an incredible marketplace move, Amazon announced that later this year over 11,000 libraries will offer the ability to take out books on any Kindle (the actual device, iPad, iPhone, Android phone, etc). You will be able to highlight and annotate in the books. Then, if you check that book out again, or buy it, it preserves your annotations. It is definitely worth thinking about as schools watch e-reader developments.
