There's a biggo article about it on Amazon - Looks like only certain books are available for sharing (It's up to the publisher). I kinda like the idea of being able to loan it out to save someone else a few $$.

From what I've read, you can loan books out only 1 time for a period of 2 weeks!

And Goof - Think of the $$ saved! LOL!

Please.

If you find some place with "free" books that aren't free on Amazon, do know that you are probably at a piracy web site.

It's not okay to support them. They are not the ones who wept over plots that wouldn't move, characters who wouldn't act right. They didn't stay up late and get up early in order to write one more page before their 40 hr a week job.

All they did was rip off those of us who did the work.

My publisher (and others) release free reads a lot. I think there is an app that will alert you to those books. I know one of Marilu Mann's is up as a free read. It's a M/M paranormal short called Changing Perspective.

As someone who truly loves books, I was surprised as to hwo easy it was for me to convert to an e-reader. I love the idea of being able to move my entire library in my purse though.

A great website for e reader comparisons is http://www.dearauthor.com. Jane L really goes into detail.

In fact, I just got my daily update from Dear Author. Here's an article on digital lending.

Thanks for the head's up on piracy! Is Amazon the only site that has legit free books?

Most legit stores have them but it's the ones where everything is free that are suspect.

It's like someone copying art and giving it away for free.

Makes me a bit wenchy.
