Kindle expands to include eBooks from public libraries
Earlier this morning, Amazon made a news release regarding the expansion of the Kindle's capabilities to include eBooks downloaded from public libraries. This has been a source of frustration to current users of the Kindle, and was one of the points discussed in my recent review of the product. As such, this is great news! So far the news release only addresses the Kindle's compatability with content downloaded from American public libraries, but I think that it is only a matter of time before the spectrum expands to include libraries north of the Border as well. Since TPL already has such a great collection of downloadable content for its patrons, this would mean a whole new set of options for Kindle users in Toronto.

any update on Toronto library access for Kindle
I’ve not heard anything new as of yet… I do know that the negotiation of rights is very different in the US than in Canada, which is why there are some discrepancies between the eBook market south of the border and here. Hopefully they will figure out something soon, but as soon as there’s word I will definitely make a post about it and amend the Kindle review.
