Lending Your Kindle Books
Not all Kindle books may be loaned, but many are available to lend.
Each publisher decides on whether the book will be available as a loan to another reader.
If one wishes to lend an Ebook, neither the borrower or the lender need to own a Kindle.
Kindle books may be loaned for up to 14 days. If the book is not picked up (receipt) within 7 days, it is automatically returned to the lender.
Most publishers chose the option of allowing the Ebook to be lent once and the lender may not read the book during the loan period.
Specific directions for loaning a Kindle book can be found at http://heresthethingblog.com/2012/02/14/loan-kindle-book-friend/
Amazon Prime includes certain books that Prime members can borrow. This is one of many features I like about Amazon Prime, in addition to the free two day shipping and free Prime movies.

Cleveland's Signature Dessert in Two New Books FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Rosa Shine Raskin Address: 451 Lassiter Drive, Highland Heights, Ohio 44143 Phone: (440) 461-4125
New Books: Cleveland Treats and Cleveland Treats:Sweet Recipes
Cleveland, Ohio - August 31, 2016 – Cleveland's signature dessert, Coconut Bars are included in two new books published this summer by Rosa Shine Raskin. The first, Cleveland Treats, includes nature photography of the Greater Cleveland area along with treats to eat. The second book, Cleveland Treats:Sweet Recipes, is a subset of the larger Cleveland Treats. Both cookbooks contain color photographs.
The motivation for the books was the author's nephew born with 30 food allergies and earlier that same year, Raskin's husband had to be taken to zero fat after a heart attack at the age of 49. A treat for everyone is included in the variations of the recipes, which include low-sugar, fat-free, dairy-free, and/or gluten-free versions. The modified recipes took months of trial and error to create. The variations of a recipe are presented with the traditional version. When the author's nephew liked a recipe, he would say “Auntie Rosie, put it in your cookbook.” He was 3 years-old the first time he asked his aunt to document the invented dessert. The books were published this summer, 20 years later.
Recipes include Russian Tea Biscuits, Baked Brown Bread, Lady Locks, Banana Cake, Pies, Dutch Apple Squares, Eier Kichel and Cleveland's own version of cassata cake, etc.
Print copies of both books are available from Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com.

Rankings for Book Publishing Choices for Authors 2014
http://www.theindependentpublishingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/105/2014/12/DEC-INDEX.png
Best list I have seen to date including the effects of VAT and Amazon's new features for readers.
CreateSpace is #1, no surprise to me because of their incredible telephone support. Sometimes we need to talk to a real person as not knowing publishing lingo puts us at a disadvantage.

Federated Search Blog
The Federated Search Blog at http://federatedsearchblog.com/ has a wealth of information including that the Government Computer News (GCN) recently reviewed mobile apps developed by the federal government. Science.gov Mobile was among the top 10 listed.
I am going to download it to my Android now as GCN gave the Science.gov Mobile app (which runs on the Android and on the Mobile Web) scores of 7 for usefulness, 8 for ease of use, and 8 for coolness factor.
Check out the Federal Mobile Apps Directory including government native apps, hybrid apps, responsive sites and mobile websites which offer official information and services from the palm of your hand at http://www.usa.gov/mobileapps.shtml

Deep Web Searching with One-Step Web Portals
It is best to have many tools in one's toolbox when it comes to "Deep Web Searching." One tool that combines patents, news, literature, and social media is Biznar.com
Biznar.com is an example of a "federated search," where multiple sites are searched at once and more quickly than trying each one.
I might start with a Biznar.com search and see where it leads me. I have been surprised more than once!
What is great about Bizar is that is is FREE. My favorite is to search me or my company, along with having a google alert on yours truly, to keep up with what is or is not posted.

Thanks for stopping by and do not forget to set up an alert on yourself and your company! Rosa
