Amazon is offering more than 5,000 titles, including New York Times bestsellers, that Prime members can borrow. The offer, however, requires you own a Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard or Kindle Fire — you can’t borrow books if you use a Kindle app on another mobile device.

The book and online retail giant seems to be stretching the definition of “borrow” for the new feature since there are no due dates. What you’re getting in effect from Amazon is a free ebook per month. You can, however, only borrow one book at a time.



No due dates! Tempting offer. Really.


If they make it work on my idevices, I would subscribe to prime. I've been thinking about it for a while, and something like this would nudge me over to the "dark side".



Its only for those who have Kindle, not just the app. You have to have the Kindle unit. (which is bummer)

if amazon let me "borrow" all the books in certain series, i'd be mad tempted to buy a kindle and prime. it wouldn't save me money for a while but once it did, holy crap.

Last year, I had got a pandigital novel and just changed the OS to make it an android tablet. From the looks of it, the conversion is a bit more user friendly now. It's not a blazing fast tablet, as it was originally an e-reader, but I am able to read books, surf the web, go on youtube. They are dirt cheap now, so if anyone wants a cheap half-assed tablet, I'd recommend one.
