Kindle Cool!
Customers will be able to check out a Kindle book from their local library and start reading on any Kindle device or free Kindle app for Android, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone. If a Kindle book is checked out again or that book is purchased from Amazon, all of a customer’s annotations and bookmarks will be preserved.
No folks. It is not a dream. According to Tech Crunch - and others - you will be able to check out digital books at 11,000 public libraries (don't know which ones yet).
The official press release states the functionality will be available later this year. No news yet on academics... (VS)
