kindle sharing

I've read you can only loan a book out one time. IS that one time EVER?? Or one time to that person?

A friend loaned The Hunger Games to me. Does that mean she can't loan it to Friend B now that I am done?!
 
It's one time ever.

I have over 60 books on my Kindle list and only 2 of them are lendable. I don't think the lending feature is that great for Kindle yet.
 
Came back to edit: Maybe I'm wrong. I thought once you loaned a Kindle book, that was it. No more loaning that book.

The big issue is that not all books are loanable. In fact, most aren't.

Libraries are different. I'm guessing they buy different licenses.

Well, that's a bummer if that's how it is. I honestly don't know... I just assumed. I need to get on the list at our library for some books, but the last time I looked, it was a MASSIVE list. I'd love if we could loan here among each other at SSD. Guess we have some investigating to do! LOL
 
OK, I looked and I had loaned out The Hangman's Daughter a few weeks ago. It's been returned, but I no longer have the option to lend it.

None of my popular books is available for lending. I have one nonfiction book and one religious book I can lend. Lendability is determined by the publisher and it seems most mainstream publishers do not allow it. My Janet Evanovich, John Sandford, Kristin Hannah... none of those are lendable. It doesn't seem to be related to when the book was published either. I have some of Evanovich's first books and they're not available to lend.

However, if anyone wants to read about the Warren Jeffs saga or read Left Behind on Kindle, those are the two books I have available.
 
yeah, unfortunately it is one time per book for personal lending. Libraries belong to a thing called Overdrive and pay really big bucks to do so, my local library had to get together with 5 other counties & form a group to be able to afford it. The can lend multiple times because of the high fees they pay.

I'm on lendle too - http://lendle.me/users/stacey42/
 
I finally got around to signing up for Lendle and adding my books to my profile. If anyone wants to follow me: http://lendle.me/users/libbyp/

Also, for those of us who are already signed up, we should all post our referral codes so that others can sign up (and we can earn extra borrow credits). My code is ESY5AVHO

Click to expand...

Click on the arrow up on the You tab and choose Your profile. I think that's how you get it. :) If you choose Your account and then click on refer friends, you can get the referral code for people to sign up.

BTW, if there are others who want to sign up, my code is: BW94LELC
