Sparta Library circulates the Kindle

Sparta Library, NJ is circulating two kindles according to a recent blog posting at their library site, and the February 2008 Smart Libraries. The two devices have a healthy request list of around twenty patrons waiting, a one-week loan period, and operate on an honor system that allows each patron/customer to download a single title to the device. Over time this builds a patron-driven collection as each circulation adds one title to the device.

Interesting... I remain anxious to see how Amazon chooses to evolve the product line.
