I have recently become a fan of reading books on the Amazon Kindle. On the other hand, Rod has been a longtime users. One feature he has been asking for since day one, is the ability to loan books. Finally Amazon has given him this feature. When you think about it, this feature makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately it is up to the Author if a book can be loaned or not.
Eligible Kindle books can be loaned once for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle — Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not all books are lendable — it is up to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending. The lender will not be able to read the book during the loan period.
Amazon outlines the procedure to determine if a book can be loaned. They also have the instructions on how to loan and receive a loaned book. Hopefully the books availible to be loaned are not hard to come by.
