I'm just shocked there were enough books with lending enabled to make this possible. I think about 5% of my library has that.

- bhousel 14y agoBelieve it or not, most Kindle books are lendable. I have a database of Kindle books that I built last year, but I know that now there are over a million titles. So, year old data: > db.books.find({'lendable': true}).count(); 543519 > db.books.count(); 846456
- smackfu 14y agoIt would be interesting to compare that to the sales list. See if popular books are lendable.
- rprasad 14y agoSelf-published books are lendable by default, and are subject to a lower royalty rate if lending is disabled. Most major publishing houses do not enable lending b/c they have negotiated separate contracts with Amazon that do not require it.
