PRIME-ELIGIBLE KINDLE BOOKSAt Twitter, @PublishersLunch tweeted, "This Amazon Link Lets You Browse 2,700 Prime Lending Titles Right On Their Site."
The link they gave leads to a page of Prime Eligible Books in general and says,
"Showing 1 - 12 of 9,499,136 Results"
which is a bit more than Amazon has. What Amazon did was add together Paperback, Hardcover, Kindle Edition, PDF, and "See more," apparently, to get that number.
And already #1 has no image and "This item is currently not available" -- in a sorting by 'Popularity'.
That is nevertheless a very worthwhile link: I clicked on "Kindle Edition" which claims to have "2,548" results, but, as you can see,
the linked page of Prime-Eligible Kindle Edition books
"Showing 1 - 12 of 5,379 Results" *
which is closer to what Amazon claims is lendable via the Prime program.. (See an explanation of the Prime Kindle Owners Lending Program.) I clicked on a number of them to see that they are $0.00 for PRIME members (remembering you can borrow only ONE per CALENDAR MONTH on an account (no matter how many Kindle devices share that account).
You can of course sort by Avg Customer Review and the other usual sorts, and choose from genres/subcategories on the left, so I will will include this from now on, with some reference lists and tables.
Thanks to @PublishersLunch!
* NOTE: Added on Feb. 21, 2013 after reading two news sites that just gave this tip as one they'd not heard of before, although this blog entry was dated Nov. 2011 and the special direct link has been at the top right of the A Kindle World blog since that time.
One change: The number of Prime-borrowable Kindle books available back in 2011 was 5,379 and that number has grown to 296,833.
