Kindle Book Club is a digital application that allows one to interact with other Kindle readers and create their own book club. Through this app, they can trade/recommend book suggestions, tag passages, etc with footnotes revealing commentary from readers, and create discussions as a forum open to the club’s members.

Book clubs can be private, by invite only, allowing the club to be intimate, as they would in a real life setting. However, members can also search, join and create a larger public book club. 

The Kindle Library is a separate, add on app that links up with the Book Club features. In this app, one can publish their books into a library that is open to the public. Privacy settings can be altered to reveal only certain books or to certain people. 

As members browse libraries of their friends or favorite authors, for instance,  they can download books right from the shelves. In this feature, one can also save books to a wish list for later purchase, “check out books” for a limited amount of time (as they could in a real library, only with a renter’s fee) and suggest books for others.
