Amazon’s Kindle has paper books beat in most respects, especially when it comes to not being made of paper. Having a Kindle also means you don’t need to go to the bookstore anymore, and soon enough you won’t need to go to the library either.

At some point in the not-too-distant future Amazon will be introducing a new library lending feature, which works just as it sounds. You can electronically borrow books from the library, using either your Kindle or any of the free Kindle apps for smartphones or tablets.

The service will only be available in the US, at least initially, and will feature support for over 11,000 different libraries. Your device even keeps track of your annotations and bookmarks, so if you decide to purchase the book or borrow it again, the information will still be there.

There’s no specific date for when the new feature will be implemented, but expect to see it later this year.
