Kindle Books

So apparently there is a way to share kindle books with friends and family. It's lending the book to them for 14 days I think. However, I've never done this and I am new to the lending ebook party. Has anyone ever done this? Is there a website that connects people looking for a certain book to borrow? Up until now I've solely used my kindle to borrow ebooks from the library but I have a couple I am interested in that are no where to be found and feel like buying is such a waste 😭 |

There are a lot of free books on Amazon. Plus, they have Kindle Unlimited which you can usually get for free for a month or two. I'm not sure on the lending part. I think someone has the book which has lending abilities. Authors have to allow lending for their books too. Not all of them have that option. |

I've never done it, but I think Ice is right in that some books are lendable and some aren't. I've never tried past that though. I'm in a few book groups on facebook that have mentioned it, but I'm in Canada on CA Amazon, so I'm guessing lending to US Amazon isn't possible. |

There's also other apps on your phone where you can read books. There's something called Overdrive, but I am not sure what that all involves. I know libraries go through it... but that's all I really know. I hope you find something. There's a lot of free ones on Amazon for sure though. If you tell me what genre you're into, I can help you find some :D |

What books is it you want to read, but don't want to buy Chime?
I know you are super close to me. My local library system uses CloudLibrary - so if you have a local library maybe you can sign up and borrow them? I use the library ebook system a lot! |

I want to read book called "Follow Me" by Sara Shepard. I've checked my libraries and no one has it in print or ebook :( I just wasn't sure if there was a website out there for people seeking to be lent a book to connect with owners who have such books. ex. I'm looking to read Book Name Here does anyone have this? and then a response would be "Sure I have it, what's your email?" lol

It doesn't look like this book is available for lending according to Amazon. Try this website and see if you can find a library with it FOLLOW ME by Sara Shepard · OverDrive: ebooks, audiobooks, and videos for libraries and schools |
