"Borrowing" books via kindle
I could use some help. As I understand it Kindle (or Prime?) allows users to borrow a certain number of ebooks for free so long as you do so directly from an actual Kindle device and 1 at a time.
I cannot work out how to do this. Can someone who uses this Amazon feature please let me know how to access it?

I pay £7.99 a month for Kindle Unlimited. There's a huge selection of books and magazines and you can borrow up to 10 at a time. I have two Kindle readers (one of them is the super affordable Amazon Fire which I bought for £30 on Prime Day two years ago) and my partner and I can have two different books/mags open at the same time on the different devices which is awesome. Of course there are also tons of free books in the Kindle Store which are worth looking into as well! The feature that I love the most is the 'Follow' button for authors. I commute an hour each way to and from work so I get through a lot of books and sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with which authors I enjoyed, and the 'Follow' fixes that and I get an email when they've released a new book.
If you have a partner of a friend or family member who loves to read it could totally be worth sharing an account, if the £7.99 seems like a lot for what is essentially a Kindle library card. Like I said before, you can borrow up to 10 books/mags at a time and you can even read the same book on two different devices. You will get prompted to go to the last page read on the account but you can easily have two people reading the same book at two different speeds (and two different devices) at the same time!

Thank you!
People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
