Good news! There is. It's called Lendle. (Thanks to Carolyn Foote for the tip) After opening an account (it's free, of course), you give the names of the titles you own. There's a easy way to see which of your books are lendable.
If you go to your Kindle Library on Amazon, hover your mouse over the "actions" bubble. If it gives you an option to "loan this title," then that's a book you want to add to your Lendle account. The more books you add, the more you're able to borrow from others.
The terms are simple and fair. You're able to loan a book only once. And you can only borrow if you have books available to lend. They don't want the community poached by people who only borrow and never contribute. It makes sense and I really like it so far.
Also, there is a way to earn credits if you loan a lot of books. If you earn enough, you can get credit with Amazon, where I supposed you'd buy more books! That's not really why I signed up. I like the idea of yet one more place where I can borrow books. So...between my own school library, my public library, eBooks on Overdrive, Lendle, and Amazon, I should be able to meet all my needs!
I hope you find it helpful!
Wow! Just as I was about to post this, I see that Amazon is also getting into the lending game with Amazon Prime members getting to borrow. Pretty amazing stuff!
