Answers.Text: @Thunderforge You're right. I was going partially by memory and partially by the statement directly below the video: "A Kindle book can only be loaned one time." That could well mean that once you have loaned a particular book, you can never loan it again. Which would be a pity, because this is the only mechanism available for loaning DRMed Kindle books to other Kindle users.

Body: <p>I have a decent sized collection of Amazon eBooks with a few titles that my family (siblings, parents) are interested in reading. Unfortunately, we all have our own Amazon accounts. Is there any way to share these eBooks?</p>
  
  <p>We are all adults, so some sort of child sharing feature wouldn't be what we want. We don't have a problem with sharing being temporary or having a restriction where only one person can read the eBook at a time.</p>
