It's plenty easy, just go to your account on amazon, go to manage kindle, find the title you want to loan out to someone, and off to the right there is a drop down menu with options, one of them will be loan title(as long as the book is lendable). Select that and you'll be prompted to put in the person's email you are sending it to and your good to go!

To be honest I don't think I've ever received a book, only loaned a few out, but I can't imagine it would be to hard. Someone else can verify this, but I would guess once you open your email from the lender, there will be a link to send the book to your Kindle.

Oh also the loans only last 2 weeks, so make sure your ready to read the book otherwise you'll have to ask the person to resend it.
Haha! Yes, but I've never received a book from someone so I wasn't positive on that end. And your instructions are very well done. :)

Nah you can loan a book as many times as you want, I loaned my mother a book twice because she didn't finish in time. You can only loan that specific book out to one person at a time though, and while it's loaned out it's inaccessible to you as well. Think of it as if you were actually loaning a physical book to a friend, but after 2 weeks it's automatically returned to you whether the person is finished or not.

I'm not sure about the wireless thing either.
Yeah your right I just checked a book I had loaned out recently and it was no longer available, my bad. On that note let me just say I think that really sucks, because if that were a real book I could loan it out as much as I wanted!
