Signed up for Prime. It says I get a free book every month for my (Wife's) Kindle. The Kindle is one of the first original NON touch screen with keypad and limited internet use.
I can find a book on the Kindle and it says 'borrow for free' with Prime. That works but, as it's an old Kindle, takes hours to search for books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amazon_Kindle_Keyboard.jpg
BUT on a tablet she uses to find books, which is linked to Amazon and she uses it to buy books to send to the Kindle, the 'borrow for free' button is not visible. 39 minute call to Amazon and they had no ideas. How about you?

I've got the button on my old keypad kindle but not on my ipad. I tried changing the ipad to default device but still nothing so I suspect it's a app issue.

I just buy them. The lending thing is only one book a month isn't it ? When I get going on an author I tend to do all their books; I'd hate having to wait 3 weeks for the next one.

My understanding is that the free book is only available on kindle or fire devices.

If the tablet she uses to find books isn't fire tablet or kindle, it won't be able to borrow a free book.
