Gifting feature removed

[Kevin]

It seems that book gifting feature is removed from at least the US site. A few forums have confirmed the same. I know some people have been abusing it (e.g. if you already own the book you get a full credit, regardless of how the gifter purchased the book). But overall I think it is a useful feature. I hope they will refine it instead of removing it.

Is the send this book feature different? It's still on the app.

Different. Send this book is free for the recipient only once in their lifetime. If they already got a free book from someone else, they will need to pay to accept another book from you. So it is not really gifting.

i wish they would allow you to borrow from a friend like you can on kindle. you can't read while your friend has it for a limited time

And the answer is: abuse of credits

You do have the right to download your books to multiple devices ( I think 5) so someone else could download it from your computer, or from your account if you chose to share it. It does seem a shame that I "own" so many books that I can't pass on the way I could with paper.
