Among the benefits for readers, you will find Prime Reading, Amazon First Reads, Prime Print Magazines, and Prime Book Box, but no Lending Library. Kindle Lending Library was removed from an official list of Prime Membership benefits. There is no longer a Kindle Lending library option for dedicated books that are supposed to have it. The dedicated landing page just as a document ID number, instead of a text based entry. I know the program is being phased out because there is no longer a navigation entry for it. Today, Amazon has just discontinued the Lending Library and are now telling people to use Kindle Unlimited or Prime Reading instead.Īmazon never announces the discontinuation of products or services. In 2016 Amazon released Prime Reading and it basically killed Kindle Lending Library, and Amazon no longer promoted it on their website or via press releases.

There was no expiring date for the books and it was very popular. Books that are included in the free lending library will have a “Prime” logo next to them and a “Borrow for free” button beneath the traditional “Buy” button.

Once a book is borrowed, it can be re-downloaded for free at any point in the future. This was a program where Prime members can borrow a free book once a month. Amazon launched the Kindle Lending Library in 2011.
