It's not you just sending a file to someone.
Yeah, you're not posting anything from your personal library on your computer.

It's just a way to get people together. On the other sites I get an email saying that "So-n-so would like to borrow your book, and this is their email Addy". Then you go to Amazon, go to the book (either through the main page or through the Kindle manager) and click "Lend this book". You pop in their email addy, and they get the offer of the loan. If they *don't* accept, then after a few days it comes back to me and I can loan it out again.

It's the Amazon copy that's being lent. They keep track of the loan dates and then email you when you get the book back. The borrowed book gets put on their Kindle Mangagement list. Then they can send it to their various devices.

As for Ebookfling, it's Friday morning, I still can't get back in, and no response to the Feedback I left Tuesday asking for help. Ugh.
