The Amazon Kindle selection isn't just a bookshop it's a library too, and if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can borrow books that you return at a later date.

(Image credit: Future) How to lend Kindle books When you have the Kindle edition of your chosen book selected, click 'Buy now' to the far right, and go through the usual paying procedures you use for Amazon. You'll be able to select the book in a few different formats like Hardcover and Paperback, but you'll want to select the option for 'Kindle' to ensure you're getting the correct version. Once you've selected the book you want, select it to go onto its webpage, and here you'll find information like its price and information.

If you search in the bar at the top of the webpage, it'll only search the Kindle library, letting you easily search for the book you want. You'll be presented with the Amazon Kindle storefront, listing books by all different kinds of categories and genre. Now click 'Kindle E-Readers & Books', then 'Kindle Books'. On the far left of the screen you should see a button with three horizontal lines which says 'All' - click this, and a side menu will appear. To do this, head over to your region's variant of the Amazon website (opens in new tab). However, you're able to browse the massive Kindle library on the Amazon website too. Kindles are quite slow devices, they don't need to be fast if all they're doing is emulating a paper book, and this can be frustrating if you're quick with your tech. The money will be deducted from your linked bank account, and the book will be yours to enjoy. If you decide this is the book for you press 'Buy it for '. This will give you some details on the book including its name and author, the length, a blurb, and the price. When you've found the book you want to read, select it, to go to its title page. If you already know the book you want to buy, there's a search bar in the top-right corner of the Kindle - press this, and just type in the book you want to find. Here there's also Kindle Unlimited - a subscription service which gives you unlimited reading of over a million books and magazines, though you have to pay extra for it - and Newsstand, a list of magazines you can read. In the top left corner there will be a 'Browse Categories' button - if you select this, a drop-down menu will appear which lets you browse by genre.
