Whoa.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh my...that's certainly something (I'm pretty sure egregiously horrible fits the bill)

Hey. New board.
But still, yay! Drew has been waiting to borrow books from my kindle for ages. One a month total, though? Not so yay.
This is different. Lending a Kindle book you have purchased to somebody else is just like the Nook: I believe you can lend each book you have purchased exactly one time, for up to 2 weeks at a time. Some books don't let you do it, but most do. And I don't think there's a restriction on how often you can lend/borrow, if you're doing different books each time.
The Lending Library is something else again: Amazon is essentially allowing you to borrow books from them with different rules. Those are the once-a-month but as long as you want borrows. I read that Amazon is actually paying the publishers each time a book is borrowed, essentially eating the cost of the books, at least right now. They're trying to convince the publishers that it could bring in revenue somehow.
Meg and I simply share an Amazon account so we don't have to use the lend feature to lend books to each other. But I have lended Kindle books to friends now and again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can share an Amazon account across two Kindles? I mean, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to--I have my Nook library loaded on all my devices except my PC, and that's because I never relax with it. But it's on 5 others.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You can share an Amazon account across two Kindles?
Yes, or any other Kindle-app devices. I have my account on 2 Kindles, my iPhone and my iPad.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, we have ours on 2 kindles, my old iPhone, Meg's iPhone, my Android, my work PC, Meg's work PC, and my Mac laptop.

Yeah, I've got the Kindle app on my phone, laptop, and iPad. Which means I can have Dracula, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Night Circus with me ALL THE TIME.
