Amazon's Kindle lending library feature for Kindle owners and Amazon Prime subscribers is a great idea. A free e-book to read each month, to be replaced with a new book the next month, is a great way for users to get their hands on the e-book format and encourage widespread adoption of e-readers. However it seems that the Authors Guild is not too pleased about it. From the layman's point of view, Amazon is paying the publishers of the books the same price if the user were to buy the book outright, not to mention the user does not even get to keep the e-book.
