How to check whether a book is included in Kindle Owners’ Lending Library

If you got interested in Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (besides it has too many limitations), here is how you can check in Kindle Store whether a book is included in a list of library titles.

Actually, you won’t be able to miss it. Amazon made sure to let you know how much you may benefit if you go for Prime membership ($79/year) – which is needed to use Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.

On a book’s page included in a program you will see two indications.

1. Price

The price is $0.00 followed by read for free text (note, that it’s not get for free) and a logo of Amazon Prime.

2. Information box

Underneath you’ll see a box entitled For Kindle Device Owners, where you’ll be encouraged to start a month free trial of Prime. Note, that you have to own a Kindle device to make use free library titles available for Prime members.

For the cost of $79 a year Prime members get:
- one Kindle book to borrow for free each month
- unlimited instant streaming of movies and TV shows with Prime instant videos
- free two-day shipping of millions of items from Amazon

There are currently 5,156 titles in a catalog (no books from big 6 publishers yet). 1,346 books is fiction, 3,865 – non-fiction. There is no catalog of titles, but I’ll try to work out a way to access library books from Google search, so stay tuned, get free updates by RSS or email.
