Hello,
Does anyone use this service? It claims to have over 200,000 titles and if you have Amazon Prime (£49 a month) you get free access to one title a month to borrow. Trouble is I don't have a Kindle yet and without one and without paying for Prime I have asked but there is no way of browsing all of the titles before you buy so I was wondering if anyone does use it, is it worth the money? Well I know it is free and you do get the benefit of Prime, I just want to know what the book selection is like.
Thanks.
PJ

Edit: Ooo it does look like it is available now, thanks for the heads up - I will be looking into this now
Iike mummy porn. The Harry Potter series is on though. Interestingly the only store option is to borrow and I'd have to go to the Amazon website to buy.

Amazon Prime is £49 a YEAR
Unless you're buying a lot of stuff from Amazon on a regular basis to get free delivery (does not include Marketplace sellers) IMHO the equivalent of £4.09 a month to borrow one book isn't good value.
They were offering a 30 day trial which gave access to the list of books available.

Oops, yeap sorry I meant year, thanks for spotting. Wasn't trying to slur Amazon honest ;-)

Makes sense for the self published though who need to build up a readership before they can risk going commercial.
