Tolkien on the Kindle - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've thought of something that is tangential to Mister U's and Alfirin's points, but I'll post it anyway.

Books can be shared, physically. Can e-texts/e-books be shared digitally? Once you have a book on your Kindle, is there any way you can pass it on to a friend's Kindle? If there's this extensive social media capability, is there this sharing capability? I wouldn't think so, unless the Kindle itself was shared, as that would cut into profits I would think.
