I don't understand how it works from that website. Maybe it's evident to Kindle owners, but from the outside it makes little sense. E.g. the "(absolutely risk free)" in the "Lend a book" button as opposed to "(always free of charge)" in the "Borrow a book" button makes me think there are hidden charges or something shady going on. Or maybe it's all free, or these charges are just evident? I don't know.

To lend a book on the kindle you just have to enter the name and email of the borrower. Then the book is removed from your kindle account for 14 days, and it will stay in the borrower account for 14 days. It is free to borrow and it is risk free, because after 14 days Amazon is transferring back the book. The website is really just a market for matching borrowers and lenders. They will probably make their money with amazon affiliate links and ads.
