If a book isn't lendable, that option won't appear. You'll see an Actions button, which you click and select Loan This Title. You can check if yours is by checking the product details or checking the content and devices page. This is an important step, because not all Kindle e-books are lendable. Navigate to the Manage Your Content and Devices dropdown on and pick the e-book you'd like to loan out. Pick your bookĬlick 'Content & Devices' in your Amazon dropdown menu Credit: amazon

You can't read a loaned book while someone else is reading it, so this wouldn't work for a simultaneous book club situation, but it's a great option for sharing with those who aren't in your Family Library.

If you don't have the Family Library - or if you want to share books with more than just your family - there is still an option to share your e-books (Opens in a new tab).

You'll want to check the box next to the books you want to share, then select Add to Library. Then, navigate to Manage Your Content and Devices, select Content, then Show Family Library, and enable sharing on all your Kindle e-books. To set it up, you'll need to link all the accounts together through Amazon Household (Opens in a new tab). It's a great way to share your book collection with your friends and family that links together two adults and up to four children, from an adult's account, to share Amazon Prime benefits and Kindle e-books. Kindle has a lending feature built in called the Family Library (Opens in a new tab). Handing your entire Kindle over to someone just doesn't feel realistic - but that isn't the only way to share an e-book. But sharing that joy isn't always so easy when you've got an e-book instead of a physical book. When you buy a physical book, and you love it, you pass it along to friends and family members who might glean some of the same happiness, or sadness, or wonder, that you had when you read it.

One of the greatest joys of reading is sharing what you love.
