bookjetty does a fantastic job of the "can I buy it online?" and "can I borrow it from a library?" use cases.

Since bookjetty already has some simple social/friends features, it would be nice to see directly support the "can I borrow it from a friend?" case.

not sure if you really want to head in that direction, but I'm sure you've seen sites like http://www.billmonk.com that make the borrowing/return process very simple.

Thanks for the suggestion Paul.

Yeah I thought it would be nice to be able to manage book loans in BookJetty. Btw, do we still loan books to friends, seems like ppl prefer book exchanges nowadays, It seems to be more practical.

My past experience with loaning books, always end up losing them :D.

borrow from a library would be good. if that library do not have .. maybe you can send in a suggestion via bookjetty to purchase that book. we can study on the feasibility of this model.

For Singapore users, if it's possible, I'm actually looking for partnership with existing bookstore, like Times, PageOne, etc... but so far I haven't gotten the right contact.

If you guys know of anyone form local bookstores please do let me know. Thanks.
