On The Same Page discussion

How it works:
According to the Amazon help page, the lender sends the borrower an invitation via email. The borrower has 7 days to download the book, and it's available to the borrower for two weeks after downloading. You can only lend certain books, and you can only lend each copy once.

To see which books in your library are lendable, go to Manage Your Kindle after signing in to Amazon. Under Your Orders, click the little plus sign for more details on each title, and if it's lendable, a "Lend This Book" button will be there.

Please note: As I said before; be careful and know who you are lending to!!! I know there are many readers that love their kindle; and thought I would provide a space for those that love to share and talk about eBooks.

Amazon is pretty easy to use and the lending process is too.

You can also see if a book is lendable from the kindle book's main detail page on amazon. Go to a book you've purchased. At the top you'll see the "our records show you purchased this book on X date" message. Below that in italics in the same box are some options you have. If the book is lendable, generally one of them will say "loan this book to anyone you choose."

Finding out if a book is "lendable" before you buy it is a little more work: from the book's main amazon page for the kindle edition, you have to scroll down to the product information section below all the hype and related book ads. In there, you will usually see a line that says "lending" and either "enabled" or "not enabled" afterward.
