				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/LendInk.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10000" title="LendInk" src="http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/LendInk.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="144" /></a>I would personally never lend out my eBooks to anyone( yes I’m a bit of a scrooge) even to the best of friends, but that’s just me. However, sharing/lending eBooks seems to be growing into a rather large phenomenon, with the feature being a staple with Barnes &amp; Noble for some time now and just <a href="../2011/01/share-books-with-your-friends-with-amazon-kindle%E2%80%99s-lending-feature/">recently introduced into the Kindle</a>.</p>
<p>Let’s be honest, some of your friends are idiots and don’t always have books worth sharing, soooo, when it comes to finding partners to lend books to and from, things can become complicated.</p>
<p>It would only seem fitting that a cyberlibrary of sorts would open up that allows complete strangers to share/lend their eBooks.</p>
<p>Enter the just recently launched<a href="http://www.lendink.com/" target="_blank"> LendInk</a>, with their fitting motto, Share, Search, Borrow. All you have to do is to post your <strong>lendable Kindle or Nook</strong> books for other to borrow, and search for the ones you are keen on reading both by title and/or by author. When you find one you like, simply request to borrow it.</p>
<p>But wait, there is more, as an incentive, LendInk rewards points to members for lending books, and members can charge others points, aptly called ebookdollars, to borrow their books.</p>
<blockquote><p>“This keeps things fair, so that one user won’t abuse the site and continuously borrow books, while not contributing to the community,” explained Evan Murdock, one of the site’s partners.</p></blockquote>
<p>Points can be earned by posting book reviews, referring new members, and making new posts in the forums.</p>
<p>As this new start-up grows, the company plans on allowing members to use those points for other things such as prizes and merchandise.</p>
<p>Prediction: This is going to be huge.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip <span style="color: #ff6600;">Matt</span>.</p>
