That is not true. The books that are available at the $0.00 purchase price, are free for anybody independent from prime membership. It is correct that you have to have a Kindle linked to your account to be able to purchase any kindle books - but that kindle can be an app or physical kindle including kindle for pc.
The Kindle Owners Lending Library is merely a benefit of a prime member ship. That one is geographically limited (but not only to the us anymore) and available only on certain (hardware) kindles. Heavy limitations on book lending is a sign to me that the KOLL is not the main reason for prime to have. The expedited and free shipping and unlimited streaming of many movie / tv shows is already worth the fee. If all you do through Amazon is e-ink-Kindle and nothing else, don't waste your money on prime.
