Is it possible to do that? I have over 100 books on Kindle and would love to lend some out but I am really cyber challenged and don't know where to start. Does PBS even do this? If not,where?

Thanks for any and all replies!!

First you have to go to the book you want to lend and see if it is lendable.  Not all Kindle books are.  You can only lend the book out one time and it is lendable for 14 days.

Lend Kindle Books

  1. Go to the Manage Your Content and Devices and locate the title you'd like to loan.
  2. Select the Actions button with the three dots to the left of the title.  If it’s lendable, you’ll see an option that says “Loan this title.” If that doesn’t appear as an option, it is not lendable.
  3. Enter the recipient's personal email address and optional message then select Send.
  4. Select Send now and a book loan notification is sent to the recipient.

I forgot to put where you can lend your books as PBS doesn't allow it:

  • lendle.me
  • BookLending.com

Hope this helps.
