Amazon Prime customers can now checkout books from the "Lending Library" on Kindle devices

You can now checkout books on your Kindle device from Amazon's "Lending Library" if you are a subscriber to Amazon Prime ($79/year). There are no due dates, but hold on there, bookworm! Only one book at a time, and it is only available on Kindle devices, not on Kindle apps. The Kindle app is available on virtually all mobile platforms and computer operating systems, and is often preferred over more limited platforms such as Apple's iBooks, which is limited to iOS devices. This might have been enough for me to keep my Amazon Prime subscription for another year, if the Lending Library were available on all Kindle apps! (Sources: Amazon, The Verge)
