Remember libraries? Those buildings that leant you books for the princely sum of absolutely nothing? Well, Amazon is bringing it's own library-style feature to Kindle owners later this month
Amazon to launch Kindle Lending Library
Kindle Fire
The service will be called the Amazon Kindle Lending Library and, unlike a traditional library, will actually cost you a membership fee. You'll need to pay for Amazon Prime membership at £49 a year... and buy a Kindle, naturally.
Launching in late October, the Kindle Lending Library will feature over 200,000 books (including - Amazon reliably tells us - all seven Harry Potter books!) that you can "borrow" for free. You'll only be allowed to borrow one at a time, mind.
If you haven't got a Kindle yet, then this could be a further nudge towards Amazon's all-conquering device. Coincedentally, the online retailer is also launching its new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite later this month on October 25th.
We're working to fix the problem right now and will have it working as soon as possible
