ebook lending offer

[rivkat]

Books I can loan if you have a Kindle or Kindle app: Deadly Spin, Academically Adrift, Goldfish Dreams, True Porn Clerk Stories, Origin (J.A. Konrath), Red Families v. Blue Families, Blockade Billy, Boneshaker, The Movement and the Sixties, Teaching as Leadership, Silent Blade (Ilona Andrews), Sharp Objects: A Novel. I’ll need your email address (not your Kindle email) to send you the loan--email me at rivkat at gmail or comment. You have 14 days to read the book once you accept, and they only allow one loan, so unfortunately I can’t do serial lending.

Oooo, could I borrow True Porn Clerk Stories? My email is thefourthvine at gmail.

And how does one determine what one can loan out. Does it show somewhere?

Sent! You can find what's lendable by looking at your Kindle books. They don't make it easy--you have to look book by book. Instructions: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_200549320_find?nodeId=200549320&#find

Thank you! I read a lot of Ali Davis's stuff (turned out to be about a quarter of the book) waaaaaay back when she was putting it up online, so I wanted to read the book but not enough to buy it when I wasn't sure how much I'd already read. Loaning was perfect!

I'd like to read Of Swine and Roses, actually, thanks! I'm interested to see that you can lend The Iron Duke, because Kindle won't let me lend my copy.

Turns out there are a couple of lending sites. I signed up at booklending.com, but this article lists a couple of others too.

Will rivkat@Lj find you, or is there somewhere else I should send the invitation?

And that's weird about The Iron Duke. Hmmm. I will have to double-check that one.

Now I'm off to investigate booklending.com!

[rivkat]

rivkat at gmail will do it. Thanks!

Thanks for this, as I just got my Kindle and didn't realize that the loaning thing even existed. I would love to borrow The Movement & The Sixties and Boneshaker. bonspiel0 at gmail.

I'm surprised there isn't a kindle lending comm yet - perhaps there will be one soon.

[rivkat]

It's not letting me lend The Movement and the Sixties; I'll send in a support request. Boneshaker went off ok.
