Amazon.com launched a free e-book lending library for Kindle on Thursday. The library is open to Amazon Prime subscribers and includes over 5,000 books that users can borrow for free. The list includes hundreds of current and former New York Times bestsellers. Books can only be borrowed and read on actual Kindle devices, rather than Kindle apps running on other kinds of devices. Borrowed books will not be available on Kindle reading apps for phones, tablets or computers. Users are able to borrow one book per month. The book can be kept on the Kindle until a new book is borrowed.
