How to Check if the Book is Eligible for Lending
The issue with Kindle is that some books are out of the picture regarding lending. Not all books on the platform are available for such service, and with that, you need to know if every book that you want to read is eligible or not.
To start with that, go to the Amazon product page and scroll further at the bottom. You will later encounter the "Product details" section, per Screenrant.
In addition, you will see "Lending: Enabled" or "Lending: Not Enabled." If the first option appears, that's a go signal for you to lend a book.
Moreover, it's always important to know some limitations in lending on Amazon Kindle. You will only be given 14 days to hold the book in some cases. The book will return to the library if the loan is not accepted within a week.
Overall, lending books with friends is now easier and more fun with friends and colleagues. Once you get the feel of this process, all will fall into place, especially for knowledge-hungry bookworms.
