I call that "read and release," and trade with a couple of groups of friends. Just have to remember which group I got it from and offer it to the other group.

unfortunately Rick what you are suggesting violates our draconian laws of sharing information OR copyright duh duh duhhhh
I doubt we'll ever have a forum to illegally share information!
Never underestimate the power of the dark side.

Sharing of physical artifacts (books, CDs) is specifically allowed by "first-sale doctrine".
E-books and MP3 downloads, not so much.
RE: Kindle E-book reader - rainyjim - 01-31-2013
To be noted:
According to the masters you may share your cd with someone, but they may not copy the cd onto another disc - legally.
Never underestimate the power of the dark side.

I've had a Kindle Paperwhite for a few months now and it is wonderful. With the built-in light you can read anywhere you want, no more restriction on reading under another light source.

Sometimes Jim I have the idea you would be pissed off if you won the lottery when it came time to pay the taxes. Now I fully understand what a Troll is.
Amazon has a specific policy of allowing "loaning" books to others, I was not talking abou breaking any laws. It would also be a nice place to post "free" books that are obscure and hard to find which are only offered for a few days at different times.
I am just amazed at folks who are always looking for a problem with any suggestion. This was just a friendly thought, if anybody wants to go for it, I will contribute.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Sorry if my comments rubbed you the wrong way. Typically you will be disappointed if you assume all replies will be agreeable to your opinions - that's the whole point of "discussion"
As often happens words typed by one individual can be misunderstood or misconstrued by another - I meant no ill will toward you in my comments, I just thought I would be the first to point out that "sharing" as you call it is defined legally as piracy and comes with repercussions
I in no way support such draconian laws, however, I do point out the realities of the world we live in when I feel like it could honestly help others
You and anyone else can use the word troll all you want, but it's obvious to me that in any instance someone makes a remark you do not understand or agree with it must be fair to throw in the "T" word (troll)
Hope you get your panties straightened out

I love my kindle fire! Use it daily it's easy and fast..
But by the time I've read my e-mail's, checked the local- Alaska and Hilo and national news, the Hawaii & Alaska Craigs list and of course Puna web I hardly have time to peek at face book!
Oh how I wish I had the time that I could read a GOOD old paper book..... I just would love taking a good book to the tub and watch the pages get all wavy by my misused as I soak and soak the evening away!

Sharing Book on Kindle: If both Kindles are registered to the same Amazon.com account, you can share books by simply downloading them to each Kindle. If the Kindles are registered to separate accounts, there is a way to share books.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
RE: Kindle E-book reader - amf217 - 02-01-2013
I use the kindle download on both a iPad and a laptop, it's a free program from amazon. I have over 500 books on it and it takes up a lot less road then books. Unless you need a kindle I can't see you would buy one.
I like it here in the shallow end of the gene pool
