With the ability to borrow books from Amazon, that trashy romance novel or young adult fiction’ve always wanted to read but can not bring yourself to buy can still be yours.

To borrow books from the Kindle Bookstore, you must first be a subscriber to Amazon Prime.

You can keep the book without penalty until you’re finished and a new book can be borrowed every month, though only one can be borrowed at a time.
