Loaning/borrowing a Kindle eBook

Amazon allows users to loan ebooks now.  You can read more from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_200549320_receive?nodeId=200549320&#receive

From what I understand - the public library can be the lenderer or any one of us can loan our ebooks.  If I loan one of my ebooks, I will not be able to read it when the book is checked out.  The loan period is two weeks.  During that time, the borrower can "mark up" the book, but that will not be available to the lenderer when the book is returned.  The ebook can be loaned to a person only one time.  The second time, the borrower will be required to purchase the book. 

Wow!  What a terrific idea!
