Amazon Kindle My Mother Wants To Give Me A Book From Hers?

[gordiescotland1]

HI there
I have an amazon kindle app on my ipad and so does my mother. My mother has finished reading a really good book on hers that she wants to send to me and she thinks she can do this ??

Yes it's do-able gordie .. I haven't a clue though. Someone will know on here though if you hang on there x

I think if you (both?) have amazon prime you can lend/borrow books.
don't think you can do it otherwise (although if you ever find out how I'd love to know!).

Out of interest, what is the book called?

[ummmm]

I have Amazon Prime. Do you think it'll have to be to the same model of Kindle?

Anyway...I think B00 knows the answer.

if you are just reading this book, and you both trust each other, just register your kindle to her amazon account. Then you can read the book as if you were her, and then re-register to your account afterwards.. You will lose your stuff temporarily, but will get it back when you re-resgister to yours

not every book is available for loaning according to HC's link (whick i don't know if it works in this country anyway?)

[bednobs]

ps is it a book she bought?

Our Kindles are linked to the same account, mine, so everything I buy also comes up on his and v.v., although he is buying through my account. You need to be able to trust the other person not to abuse the access to your Amazon account.

nice one zebo

The loan facility is only available in the US.
As has been mentioned, the easiest way to share books is to share Kindle accounts

This DOES apply to the UK. Don't know if it helps your situation
