[AP] Penguin Letting Libraries Loan E-Books for Amazon’s Kindle Through End of Year

One of the country’s largest publishers, Penguin Group (USA), is temporarily restoring libraries’ ability to loan their e-books for Amazon.com’s Kindle — but only through the end of the year. Penguin says it, Amazon and its partner OverDrive are all working together to “address Penguin’s concerns” by the end of 2011. Amazon declined to comment.
