I love my Kindle. One of the best tech buys in recent memory. The thing I want to be able to do is share books with my wife as if they were 'real books'. In other words, one of us at a time gets a lock on it, but there's no time limit.



Well, it's not exactly an unforseen problem. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html


She's your wife. Trade Kindles for the day.


It'd get kind of awkward quickly, as I read books at a much faster rate than she does, so I'd always be loaning myself books from my Kindle, while she meanders her way through my books.

All in all, not an ideal solution given what the technology should enable us to do.
