Please can we have a Kindle thread?

... in the Books 'area'? There are quite a few of us with Kindles now, and we've talked about setting up a book swap (as you can lend Kindle books to other Kindle owners).

Please?

Good idea Smile

Itsjustafleshwound · 13/02/2011 17:24

Good idea ...

Now if the DH could be persuaded that it is a GOOD thing ...

MollieO · 13/02/2011 17:28

Good idea. I quite like my Kindle although I also read books on my iPhone. I like how it can sync between the two so I don't have to remember what page I'm on.

Lulumaam · 13/02/2011 17:29

oooh, that sounds good.. I have a kindle.. how do you lend books?

Ha-ha [Blush - I meant that I have to convince the DH to buy me a Kindle !!!

hocuspontas · 13/02/2011 18:22

Great idea. Can you really lend kindle books?

JaxTellersOldLady · 13/02/2011 18:24

yes you can, for up to 2 weeks i think. Cant remember how to do it (never tried) but I love my Kindle and getting different books from what I usually buy.

TrillianAstra · 13/02/2011 18:31

Can'tyou just start a thread in the books bit with 'Kindle swap' in the title and do it? Why do you need MNHQ?

Because we may want to talk about other Kindle-related things, Trill! What's wrong with asking for a specific thread?

I have a Kindle, love it. Would love to share books if its possible.

TrillianAstra · 13/02/2011 18:52

Nothing wrong with asking for a topic.

Just seemed odd to me that you weren't just doing it.

If I had a kindle I would be starting a kindle thread and asking for a topic at the same time, and then if the topic appears you can get the thread moved. Maybe I'm too impatient :)

Tyrells Cider Vinegar are the food of the gods, so posh.

daffsntulips · 13/02/2011 19:54

I have just got a kindle and would love to know how to lend out a book.

TrillianAstra · 13/02/2011 20:25

Wrong thread Habbibu?

Habbibu · 13/02/2011 21:06

Oh, God, yes. How'd I do that, then?

brambleschooks · 13/02/2011 21:42

Yes please. I just started another kindle thread today - no idea whether to put in fiction, geeky stuff or chat.

mine is on its way to th elocal delivery office, which i can see from my bedroom window. am resisting the urge to lean out and shout 'hurry up'

pugly · 18/02/2011 14:10

I'd love a kindle topic too :) although.. then I'd have to list the crap I've downloaded and I doubt anyone would want to swap Blush

Horton · 18/02/2011 14:21

I would also like a Kindle topic in Books.

I posted a list of stuff I have to lend on another thread somewhere. Some of it is crap Grin.
