Amazon Kindle Book Lending Thread

[Isgrimnur]

The Kindle has opened up lending of books from those publishers that allow it. I figured with as many people that have the Kindle or use the associated apps, we would have a fair number of people that might have some interesting stuff to lend.

So if you're interested, go to Your Account | Manage Your Kindle and down to the Your Orders section. As you expand each book, it will show a "Loan this book" button if available. Compile your list and let your fellow members share the wealth.

Bump so this doesn't get lost from the weekend.

I think the thread is a great idea. Right now my Kindle is mostly loaded with freebies and the two non-freebies aren't lendable.

In case you don't see what you're looking for here you can also check out: KindleLendingClub.

I used the site last night to pick up Ex-Heroes. Nice thing is that you don't have to give anyone your real email address to be loaned a book. Loan can go to any email address then you just apply it to your Amazon account. I got an email within an hour that someone loaned me the book.

I am not seeing where it shows whether it is lendable or not. For instance, I have Mistborne, the final Empire and it does not show how I can lend this book. Any pointers?

Never mind, just found it... I was just opening the smaller field, not the whole book.

[Austin]

Mistborne, The final Empire 1st book of a decent series. Interesting magic system, and I will likely finish the series at some point.

The Gospel and Personal Evangelism A quick read about talking about Christianity with others. Some good stories and pretty straight forward advise.

The Way of Kings 1st book in a series I hope gets completed after Wheel of Time. Some small annoying details but I like it over all.

Church History: An Essential Guide
Purchased for a class that I did not wind up taking, and I have not read it yet.

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe I like Driscoll for the most part. I have not gotten around to reading this yet. I intended to, but other books came up.

Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism
Pretty good read about how spiritual issues are being addressed in some corporate settings. RM9 might like this.

Conspiracies and the Cross
IIRC, this is deals with some of the Dan Brown -> Bart Ehrman stuff surrounding Jesus and the gnostic gospels and such. There are better books on the topic, but he's very readable.

Works of Martin Luther. Includes 95 Theses, Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians, The Table Talk, Concerning Christian Liberty, Large and Small Catechism and more
I like Luther.

Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide What does a safari guide do in his spare time? Entertaining book with a little bit about the history of Botswana, or at least their first president (One chapter iirc). That in itself is an interesting story about a high profile interracial couple facing prejudice from all sides during turbulent times.

The Holiness of God A pretty good work on God and sanctification written from a Reformed perspective.

[Crux]

As an aside for everyone. If you borrow a book and leave the wireless off, it seems you can continue reading it once the 2 weeks expires.

[Carpet_pissr]

Anyone know where you can find out if a book is lendable in the Kindle for iPhone app? Either none of the books I bought are not eligible, or I am not finding that option.

EDIT: nevermind, NONE of the books I bought are eligible for lending. Boo!

Bump to add Towers of Midnight.

I'm not understanding how i get a book someone else is lending? I see how i lend, but if i want a book from someone here, how do i get it?

[Isgrimnur]

They have to do it through the Amazon interface, so you need to ask them directly.
