Amazon has blown open the digital book world by introducing their Kindle book lending program. If you were looking for a way to reduce your reading budget you just may have found it. The program has lots of features and you do not even have to have a Kindle book reader to participate. The Kindle works on phones such as the I-phone, Blackberry and all Android devices. You have to use those phones Kindle App which is free to read your material. If you have a Kindle, of course you can use that. You can also use a personal computer, an I-pad or a Mac.

Rules

There are a couple of rules concerning the lending program:

• You will not be able to read the book that you lend to someone else during the loan period
• Only eligible books can be loaned. Eligibility is determined by the author, not Amazon.
• You can loan out books for 14 days.
• To find out if a book is “lendable” you can look in the product description of that book on Amazon, and it will say “lending enabled” under the ASIN number.
• If you have a bunch of books on your kindle already, you can go to Manage your Kindle (online) and click the “+” button next to the title. If the book is loanable, you will see it noted there.
• All you need to know is the name and email address of the person you are lending it too.

It is so social

Not only do you get to really take advantage of borrowing books, you can make friends in the process. Kindle users are really getting creative in their quest for finding inexpensive literature by finding other users on Facebook. Looking under the groups section you can find a growing resource of people listing what they are looking for or even the titles and authors of books. You can build a relationship that can last a long time and really save some serious cash. If you love to read, and peel through a lot of books in a week, this can be a very good savings.

It is an easy system.

Because Amazon manages the system they make it easy to loan out books. Even if you do not know the person you are loaning it too, it is very safe and pretty much idiot proof. When the reader is done with the book, you get it back. That process is done automatically by Amazon. If they finish it early, you also can get it back early. If you send out an invitation to loan your book, and they do not answer your email, you keep the book in your account, no harm, no foul. Even if you loan out hundreds of books you will not have to keep a list or try to remember who has what title, Amazon does it all for you.

Get Busy

There really is no better time for you to go out and expand your horizons. When books are free a whole new realm opens up for the reader. You can try new titles, authors and genres without having to spend any money. It’s kind of like an extended test drive of a new car without paying for it.

Self Publishers

A lot of people are enjoying the benefits of publishing their own work and increasing their readership. Most authors (not all) self publish because it is cheaper than going through traditional venues of publishing. Did you know you can sell your own work on Amazon? Well if someone buys that book, they can also share it and those new readers are potential customers down the road. If you have been thinking about dusting off that E book you wrote, there is no better time than now.

The Art of Fielding A Novel for eBook Reader

5Star: Comment for The Art of Fielding: A Novel
I understand the criticisms of this story but I was enthralled, maybe because I worked at colleges, covered sports and still advise college students. I found Mike Schwartz’s character the most interesting, in his intelligence coupled with career confusion and his realizing he has spent more time directing others than himself. President Affenlight’s discoveries about himself rang true, as did all of the five main characters’ complicated lives, even if the outcomes for them were possibly a bit too neat. The writing was wonderful, clear and interesting, and the author pulled me into this world he created.

4Star: Comment for The Art of Fielding: A Novel
Very well written, good mix of sports and real life. Although it took Harbach 10 years to write this book; I still was a bit disappointed in the ending – I wanted it to go on and on. Can’t wait till they make a movie out of it.

3Star: Comment for The Art of Fielding: A Novel
Really, the book kept me entertained enough, even if it slowed to a grinding pace around the middle. The plot is well-executed, it’s charmingly quaint, and it’s a good way to kill a few hours. I don’t wish I had the time back, which is a good sign.

That said, as a novel, it’s pretty mediocre. There’s an opportunity to knock off about 100 pages – it really just sags in the middle. And even given the amount of time that is spent with 5 characters, the characters are maddeningly shallow. You have the gay guy who talks like a pretentious tosser the entire time. The president who is repeatedly noted to be old, but handsome. The athletic stalwart who’s had a hardscrabble life. The woman who has been bathed in comfort since birth. And the baseball phenom. The bit players (Starblind, Meat, Izzy) are almost more fleshed out than the core characters are.

That’s more or less the entirety of characterization given to the five most important characters in the novel. Actually, that’s not entirely fair – the gay student is also half-black. If Harbach had taken a fraction of the time he spent slyly making Moby Dick references to developing the characters, the book could easily have been 5 stars.

The lack of character development was fine at first, but about halfway through, decisions start being made that would be completely odd if made by a normal person. If there were motivation that would inform the reader as to why this is being done, that would be fine, even interesting. But instead, it creates an artificial suspense because you quite literally have no idea what that person is capable of.

The exception to the plot’s competence is that it does fall flat on its face at the end, and it winds up with a deus ex machina to tie things up neatly. But that’s easier to forgive.

If you’re a D-III baseball fan, you’re going to be well-served by this book. But don’t buy into the hype around this book: It’s simply not the “Skrimmer” of the year in literature that people seem to make it out to be.

2Star: Comment for The Art of Fielding: A Novel
This book was disappointing to the point where I simply gave up. I likened it at first to novel I had read many years ago called “My Name Is Christopher Nagle”,but it simply didn’t hold up.

1Star: Comment for The Art of Fielding: A Novel
The man writes well enough, but his story and characters are poorly conceived and, at times, unintentionally ridiculous. I finished it, but was angered by the potential squandered in its pages.
