Tips For Sharing Your Amazon Kindle Ebooks

If you are a bookworm and have a knack for modern gadgets, then you might already have your own Amazon Kindle. This is one of the most popular ebook reader out there in the market and it a great gadget to have for die-hard book readers because it enables you to take your hobby on-the-go. However, one of the biggest qualms that readers have with the use of Kindle, or any other ebook readers for that matter, is the inability to share their books to their fellow bookworm friends.



But worry no more because this article will show you exactly how you can share your ebooks to other Kindle users. Amazon has created a method that will make this process that much easier for all the ebook fanatics out there. In fact, it enables you to share your ebook copies even for those friends who do not have their own Kindle.



The first step you would have to make is determine whether the Kindle books you have can be shared or loaned. Not all books on Kindle are meant for sharing, so in that case you need to loan those ebooks. It is required that the author or publisher must allow the sharing feature before you give it away to your friends. Sadly, not all of the Kindle books allow legitimate sharing so you need to learn how to identify which is which before you decide to buy. This will make your life more convenient later and not forgetting to mention that it is much more practical.



All you have to do is visit the webpage of the book that you are interested in. Each book on the Kindle store has its own book webpage, so take time to visit that. Go over to the “Product Details” section and make sure that the following is visible - “Lending: Enabled”. You won't be able to find the “Lending” option if the book is not available for sharing.



On the other hand, you need to sign into your Amazon account in order to determine if the book can be shared onto your friends. Just go over to the Kindle store and choose the tab that says “Manage Your Kindle”. There, you will find the Kindle products you have purchased under your account. You must locate the “Actions” button at the far right side of the page. Click on that to find the books that are ready for sharing and you will also find the “Loan This Title” option become visible, which means that you are free to share the book.



There are certain restrictions involved though when you opt to share or loan your Amazon Kindle ebooks. This is because of a tied legal agreement between Amazon and its digital publishers. For example, if you have opted to loan or share your Kindle ebooks, it will only be applicable for a given period of time. Also, there should be a sharing invite by the recipient for at least a week before you can begin sharing your ebooks. Finally, this feature is limited only to US Amazon customers as of now.



Take note of these guidelines so you can begin sharing your Amazon Kindle ebooks right away!
