How to Share a Kindle
One feature of paper books that people often miss when they switch to e-books is the ability to loan the book to a friend. If you have an Amazon Kindle, you can lend some e-books to friends or family members who also have a Kindle for up to 14 days. You cannot share all e-books, as the publisher has to allow it.
