Kindle 2

[grizzle]

so, 9.95 a pop, which is more than a paperback, and I can't loan a book out? I don't know about all of you, but half of my books are being read by other people, and half the books I have were loaned to me.

I'd hate to lose that, sharing a book with a friend is just one of those cool, simple acts in life.

It's got a USB port, and you can download books to it via a USB drive. So, I'd suspect people can trade books using that. But it also has a wireless capability that conencts with other Kindles. In their example, they say it makes it easy for people upgrading from a Kindle 1 to a Kindle 2 by connecting them both and transferring books from one to another. If that's the case, then I assume (but don't know for sure) that books could be transferred the same way.
