One of the stated drawbacks of Electronic Book Readers such as Kindles is that they remove the ability to be able to lend books to your friends and family, and to be able to share books amongst your reading and social circles.
However, Kindle have stated that they have now removed this drawback from their product! Amazon are now allowing purchasers of its e-books to transfer each virtual volume to one friend for up to two weeks. This therefore allows readers to share their books with at least one of their friends. Not quite the same as passing your favourite paperback around your closest friends...but still, a step in the right direction perhaps!
