One book a month ain't nothin' but a cocktease, IMHO.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I read Skymall during take-off. But I don't just read it. First, I look for the most egregiously horrible item in the issue. On the flight back from Minneapolis on Friday, I selected this [link] Then I try to figure out who would buy certain insane items and why.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.
