Here's my shelf: Kindle Lendable
I have a mix of all genres.

Here's my self: m-kindle-lendables (alphabetical by author)
I have mostly Romance, but other genres are scattered in there.

I'll be putting up some to lend as soon as I get a handle on things :)

Great, Margaret!

I am sorry but I have no clue how this works and which of my Kindle books that is lend-able.
Would somebody explain it to me please.

Hi Jane! No problem :).

If you want to see the lending status of any kindle book: First, go to the amazon page of a kindle book. For example, Eat, Pray, Love.
Scroll down until you see the "Product Details".
Near the bottom of that list you will see "Lending" in bold. In the case of this book, it is "not enabled", so not lendable.

If you already own the book, another way to check is by going to your "Manage Content and Devices" page and you will see a list of your kindle books. Click the actions button (now on the left, it looks like this: ... ) next to the book you want to check. If it is lendable you will see at the bottom of the pop-up a button that says "Loan this Title".

Once you have figured out which books are lendable, put them on a GR shelf and post the link to your shelf here. Then we'll add you to the master list.

Let me know if that still doesn't make sense and I'll walk you through it step-by-step.
Happy reading! :)

I'll work on getting my titles together and hope to have something done soon :)

Thank you Amanda. That made perfect sense.

Unfortunately I have just been through some of my books and none has had the "loan this title"
The last on the list is "read now". I wonder if it is because I am outside the States. I don't know.

I think that is the case, Jane. As of now only US customers can lend books out. However, I think you can still borrow kindle books from other members.

Feel free to browse the shelves and request books. There are only two shelves posted at the moment but we'll have more soon :).

Great, Nicole!

I believe lendable books can only be lent one time,and for only two weeks, and you can't read it while it's being lent. Doesn't seem fair.

True. On all counts.

This is only a start. I still don't have all my kindle books on GR, but I am working my way through them.

Kindle-Loan Books

I added you to the list, Turtlecollector :).

I still have a lot more books and will be adding more in the future. But here's what I have so far.

Hi SharieCrimson,
Because your profile is set to private, I won't be able to add your lendable shelf to the master list (since I'm not even able to see the link). You can either:
*Set your profile to public, in which case everyone can look through your lendable shelf.
*Or you can friend this Mod account so that I can add your shelf to the list...but only your GR friends will be able to browse your lendable shelf.

oh sorry about that. I'll change it.

Not a problem :). I added you to the list.

This is a fantastic idea and I will add my books, but it will take me awhile to organize them!

Are you familiar with this website? This is this idea on a larger scale, and it has always been really easy and worked really well!

http://www.booklending.com/index.htm

Yes, I do know about that site, Rebekah, although I've only used it once or twice. Thanks for the reminder!

Here is my shelf (If I figured out how to post it correctly!)

Thanks, Rebekah! Got it.

Here is my shelf Lendable. I'm still working on adding my books. I have over 2,000 some odd books to add to it. PM me your email and the book you want. All of my books are in epub format so if you need a different format let me know and I'll convert it for you. :)

Thanks, Ashley! Added you.

Here's my shelf - I still need to add books to it:

Also, is there an easy way to find out if books from Amazon are lendable without going to the Manage Your Kindle tool?

Thanks Chris! I added you to the list. You can start making requests as soon as you want.

The only other way (that I know of) to check if a book is lendable is by going to the Kindle book's Amazon page. If you own it and it is lendable, there will be a highlighted message at the top of the page saying something like this: "Instant order update for---.
You purchased this item on ---. View this order. Loan this book to anyone you choose."

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions :).

Thanks, Amanda, for the reply - I was just looking for a quick way to sort them - I have lots of them. I guess I'll do it the old-fashioned way :-)
