Here’s how I accessed KOLL on my Paperwhite 3 and late model Fire tablet. Older models running older software don’t have the same navigation process as later units, but the general steps should be the same. How you find KOLL has changed over the years as Amazon updated software and released new models.

You can read one Kindle ebook from the KOLL per calendar month, without dealing with waiting times or due dates, but the only way to do so is from your Kindle or Fire tablet. The Kindle Owner’s Lending Library started with only around five thousand titles and is currently at over 1,780,000 Kindle ebooks, according to my Kindle’s all-categories display for the lending library. I recently helped a reader find out why they couldn’t access KOLL, so here is a refresher for those who have not used KOLL in awhile or may be completely unaware of this freebie feature because Amazon promotes paid services like Kindle Unlimited instead. You can only borrow a book in the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library from your Fire tablet or your Kindle. Amazon explains Kindle Owner’s Lending Library features on its website, and also lists the available ebooks you can borrow through the KOLL, but you can’t actually use the service through Amazon’s website.

This benefit is also available to Fire tablet owners, but it can be hard to find. The Kindle Owner’s Lending Library is one of the lesser known benefits of Amazon Prime where Kindle-owning Prime members can borrow a free ebook each month from a catalog of over 1.7 million titles.
