What PJ said is true, even with the Prime membership and a Kindle, you're only allowed to barrow one "Prime" book at a time!

I should point out that I do maintain my Amazon Prime membership, despite the limitation on borrowing kindle books. I order enough goods to justify keeping it and the benefits work out nicely for me, i.e. free 2nd day air shipping, Prime Video on Demand, lower cost Next Day Air shipping. If Amazon changes its policy about borrowing kindle books, I'll gladly take advantage of it. Or, maybe they'll let those of us who don't have kindles enjoy the same benefit for a reasonable monthly fee. I read enough that I'd seriously consider using a "book streaming" service. :) Robert -- "Robert's Law of Negative Accomplishment: the more nothing you try to do, the less nothing you'll get done." - Robert Meyers I think there maybe also a question of limiting the possibility of borrowing books. I mean, if anyone and their mother with an Ipad, Android or else could simply borrow books, Amazon would ultimately lose some sales I must guess. Every public libraries I tried that are lending ebooks act just like with physical copies i.e., they have for example 3 copies available for lending. So Amazon could have done something similar and have a limited number of copies available at any time except that this system is usually for one city. Imagine if you were lending books to the entire world? PJ
