Amazon had a Kindle book ‘gifting’ feature installed in time for Christmas, and now they’ve made good on a promise to allow Kindle owners to ‘share’ eBooks from their personal Kindle book collections. ReviewsofElectronics has a post on the topic here.
There are some strings attached like not all Kindle books are eligible, and the sharing only lasts for 14 days, and the shared Kindle book’s owner cannot read the book while it is on loan; but it’s a slow, hesitant step in the right direction.
Oh, and each title can be ‘shared’ only once…so, you can see that while it is an easing of restrictions on Kindle owners, it should not be mistaken for liberty.
