" Hello John,
I am sorry that you have not received any answer to this question.
I have consulted the Kindle Management Team and they have advised that public loaning of a Kindle is in breech to the terms of use of the Kindle and Kindle content. The public lending of a Kindle breeches the Digital content section of the Terms & Conditions of use for the Kindle.
"Upon your payment of the applicable fees set by Amazon, Amazon grants you the non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy of the applicable Digital Content and to view, use, and display such Digital Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Device or as authorized by Amazon as part of the Service and solely for your personal, non-commercial us"
You can read the full terms and conditions of use for the Kindle at the following link:

I am sorry that I do not have better news, but I hope this information helps..."

Its either in the too hard basket for Amazon or the not part of their business plan i guess more's the pity. Amazon have a potential world wide market for libraries if only they would be creative in their thinking regarding libraries.
Pretty much kills the lending of Kindle's in my library and i suspect a lot of my colleagues in public libraries here in Australia.
I have to admit the iPad from apple may have possibilities, i will certainly be investigating this option.
