Because of the Kindle Reader applications, you don’t even need a Kindle. Registering on the site is easy. You can easily lend a book by searching for your title. If the book is available for lending, a button will appear next to your book. Borrowing a book is just as easy, find your book, click the button. Once a user lends you the book, you will receive an email from Amazon. You then have 5 days to accept the loan.

One caveat to keep in mind is that you can only loan your books ONCE. Still a great way to get new books without spending a dime.

The actual downloads are about half way down the page.

Each week, you vote on your favorite product out of three. Those products have drastically reduced prices. If you select the winning product, then you are entered in a random drawing for those products.

The odds are long but it is a fun way to look at some of the season’s new gifts.
