Hello to all the members of the Kindle Club, as you're probably all aware we suffered a bit of a disaster in the book department over the weekend. It would be greatly appreciated if you could re-upload any books that you may have on your Kindles or computers and get the library back to the state it was in before this weekend.

Thank you.

I would be...but unfortunately my Dropbox is full of DH's work stuff (which is why I had to pull out before)

Are there other similar options?

JennySense · 08/07/2013 22:15

I would be interested :)

It's books that have been bought legally & then being shared.

They are not being copied which is illegal.

Surely this is just pirating? Or am I missing something?

Eve · 03/07/2013 13:04

I know this is an old message but I did have lot of books from this club and they have now all gone. ;-(

I would love some more.

It was based on dropbox , but books were all deleted.

Would others be interested in starting again?

I would be interested to.

SuzysZoo · 19/10/2012 13:16

Thank you! That sounds good - they are always arguing about books!

Alonglongway · 19/10/2012 00:16

Yes - you can run 4-5 kindles off one amazon account and the books can be downloaded to all the kindles

terrywoganstrousers · 18/10/2012 22:37

I would like to join please- I have hundreds of books on my kindle-
Am no wiser as to how this works though?

SuzysZoo · 18/10/2012 22:34

Sorry - further slightly random kindle query. If I buy both my children one, can I download the same book but only pay once? Eg. They both want to read the same book at the same time!

OneHolyCow · 14/10/2012 15:37

Did the sharing thing ever take off?
Would happily share my stuff and always interested in browsing other's.

DuchessofMalfi · 13/10/2012 20:49

Yes you can get pictures on a kindle, but they only come up in black & white on mine. Not terribly exciting if you want to read a children's book like The Gruffalo. I don't know if the Kindle Fire would be better? Probably worth having a look on the Amazon page and then asking on the E-reader forum on here - in the Book section.

SuzysZoo · 13/10/2012 19:51

Sorry - can I ask a ridiculous question. do kindles have pictures too. Eg. If I buy my child a kindle and then they want to read The Gruffalo - does that work?

BsshBossh · 05/08/2012 23:05

Isn't it illegal to share Kindle-format books in the UK? Someone would have had to strip the DRM out.... spoilsport

MTBMummy · 30/07/2012 09:41

Have several 100 books ranging from trashy summer beach reads to some more heavy duty stuff, but would happily share them

Count me in, if the problem gets fixed. I'm spending way to much on kindle at the moment and have just read some great books on holiday that I'd love to share...

To those mentioning the sharing for two weeks, apparently that can only be done on the USA Kindles :(
