Amazon.com’s Q1 2013 earnings announcement released today points out that the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL) now provides access to more than 300,000 titles.
KOLL launched in early November 2011 with an estimated 5,000 titles. The library allows Kindle owners who subscribe to Amazon Prime to borrow as frequently as a book a month, with no due dates and with no extra charge. Included in the library are more than 100 current and former New York Times Bestsellers and all seven Harry Potter books.
We wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the number of books that can be borrowed each month increase to two or three at some point in the future.
An Amazon Prime membership also includes access to unlimited access to more than 38,000 movies and tv programs that can be streamed to a web browser, mobile devices as well as tv/web devices including a Roku.
