#20 Kindle Owners Lending Library and Prime

     Welcome to our new readers from Ireland.  You represent the forty-ninth country reported on the stats for my two blogs.  Thank you for supporting our interest in children's literacy.

     In this post I will be discussing a special opportunity for people who have the Kindle reading devices.  It is called the Kindle Owners Lending Library and is offered by Amazon.com . When combined with their Prime membership, it allows readers to check out a free eBook once a month with no due dates.

     A couple of obvious questions are "How much does Prime cost, and what else does the membership have to offer?"

     A Prime membership is $79 per year (and there is currently a free month's trial offer).   For one thing, it allows you the use of  KOLL (the Kindle Owners Lending Library) with its 180,000 book titles for your Kindle, including 100 current and former New York Times best sellers and all seven of the Harry Potter books.

     The membership also gives you access to 25,000 instant movies and TV episodes, and unlimited free 2-day shipping on all Amazon orders.

     Just to clarify, it works like this:  Kindle + Prime = KOLL.  For more information, just click on Amazon's link above and then on the "Join Prime" on the top menu bar.

     All eight of my own books are included in Prime memberships as indicated by the word "Prime" beside their descriptions on Amazon. **  My titles are:










     I hope you find this information useful.

     My other blog at Jump Up 2 Chapter Books currently has a post that lists 10 reasons why children might want to choose to read a book. Just click on the link to jump over to that site.

     ...And please keep reading!

     ** UPDATE ** In order for me to add marketing through Barnes and Noble for their Nook reading devices, several of the above publications will no longer be under an exclusive contract with Amazon for their Kindles.  They will continue to be available from Amazon, but will no longer qualify for the Prime membership program described in this post.  Please see Post #21 in this blog for further details.
