Then again, I could only buy a certain number of books given my limited budget as a child.
Owners of the Kindle app for other mobile devices orthe PCandMac can borrow ebooksas well.
Each method is pretty easy to use provided you have an Internet connection.
Ready to borrow those ebooks?
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how you’ve got the option to borrow ebooks through each method.
As the borrower, you dont even need to own a Kindle.
Thats because you could borrow ebooks using the Kindle app on your smartphone, tablet or PC.
Not all books are also available for borrowing.
To borrow an ebook from another Kindle owner, he or she has to lend it to you first.
From there that person can access theManage Your Content and Devicessection of their account.
Have the lender select theMore actionsnext to the title of the ebook, which is denoted by an ellipsis.
From there, click onLoan this title.
If the option is not available, this means that the book is not eligible for lending.
The required fields are theRecipients Email addressandFrom(the lender’s name).
The e-mail address should be the recipients personal one and not their Kindle address.
Once the lender has filled out the fields, click theSend nowtab.
Once the book has been sent, check your email and pop launch the message.
In the email body, choose the tab that saysGet your loaned book now.
To return the ebook, go toManage Your Content and Devicesvia theamazon.com/mycdaddress.
From the pop-up menu, selectReturn this book.
Confirm the return by clickingYes.
Just because the books are digital does not mean libraries have unlimited copies to lend out, though.
Find out if the public library lends out Kindle books.
you might either check the librarys website or use OverDrive to verify that they do.
To use the latter, go tosearch.overdrive.com.
From here, pick the equipment or Kindle app that you want to send the borrowed ebook to.
If using a Kindle, connect it online via Wi-Fi.
You should receive the book automatically if the Kindles Whispersync functionality is activated.
If not you will need to manually sync your Kindle.
To do that, go to your Kindle menu and tap theSettingstab (it looks like a gear).
This will bring out another submenu.
TapSync My Kindle.You should get your borrowed ebook after that.
