If you click on "More" to see a list of free books you're on a 'More" or "next page"...<br /><br /> To get back to the main page, click on the top title (or on a "Home" icon on the right side.<br /><br /> Let me know what actually changed for you. I won't be back for a few hours but I will check to see.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-40364507754306136382011-11-04T16:55:35.599-07:002011-11-04T16:55:35.599-07:00Two notes,

Global rights for digital media are probably hard to program in when gauging where you call Home and where the credit card is etc and what rights are given for/by each publisher in whatever non-USA areas.<br /><br /> Wish it weren't so. Maybe slowly they can fix this as they have for some books for some countries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-43357160997653276702011-11-03T10:48:37.382-07:002011-11-03T10:48:37.382-07:00As usual: not for non-US Kindles.

NO Big6 publishers are joining in (I think it WOULD cause them trouble with B&N and other ebooksellers since prices are 'fixed' and that would be going below other stores' prices), and there are some Big6 who do allow Kindle book lending once-ever from one Kindle owner to another -- but none for this feature.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-78515171121841261072011-11-03T08:53:51.613-07:002011-11-03T08:53:51.613-07:00I'm wondering if this is for all the 'Loan...I'm wondering if this is for all the 'Loanable' books?
