Amazon’s Kindle Lending Library has just received a major boost: all seven Harry Potter books have appeared on its digital shelves.

The service, available to US-based subscribers to Amazon Prime, allows users to “borrow” e-books for free. Featuring over 145,000 titles, it’s just like a real life library, except it never runs out of copies, there’s no waiting list and no tramp taking a nap in the corner.

Annoyingly for us UK dwellers, the Kindle Lending Library is restricted to the US, but if we had to guess we’d say it’ll be launched in Blighty before too long. Until then, you’ll have to pay cold hard cash to read JK Rowling’s tales of the bespectacled boy wizard, just like everybody else…

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
