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.

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

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...

Can I join too please?

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

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

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?

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.

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

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!

I would like to join please- I have hundreds of books on my kindle-

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

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?
