Your Kindle Paperwhite allows you to borrow books. That’s right, you don’t necessarily have to buy those books. It’s not quite the same as it was before e-books, but remember the library? How to borrow Kindle books from the LibraryMany public libraries allow Kindle e-books to be checked out. How does this work? The e-book is made available to you for a fixed amount of time — the loan period varies by library. When the loan expires, the e-book is no longer available to you, unless you check it out again or purchase it from Amazon’s Kindle Store. You can make highlights, add notes, and include bookmarks in a borrowed library e-book. Those annotations are preserved even after the e-book loan expires, in case you later decide to purchase the e-book or borrow it again. To borrow e-books, go to your local public library’s website. If your library supports OverDrive digital e-book services, you can check out Kindle-compatible e-books. Note that you have to use your library card, just as you would when borrowing a print book. Public library e-books for Kindle e-readers are presently available only in the United States. From your library’s website, you can have the e-book delivered wirelessly to your Kindle through Wi-Fi. (They aren’t distributed over a 3G connection.) Note that some publishers allow books to be transferred to your Kindle Paperwhite only by using the USB cable. These books also cannot be read on other devices such as an iPhone or a PC (using the Kindle app). How to borrow books from the Kindle Owners’ Lending LibraryIf you’re an Amazon Prime member, you have access to the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. Amazon Prime is a $79-a-year subscription program that provides a number of benefits to subscribers, including free shipping on Prime-eligible products; access to the Prime video library; and for Kindle owners, the opportunity to borrow books from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. At the time of this writing, close to 440,000 books were available, covering topics from fiction, to humor, to travel. For an overview, go to the Kindle store on your device and open the drop-down menu for All Categories. The Kindle Owners’ Lending Library is the last item on the list. Books that are available for Prime lending are displayed in the Kindle store with a Prime Members price of $0.00, followed by the Prime logo. You see this information if you’re browsing the Kindle store from your computer or your Kindle Paperwhite. Browse the options and read the descriptions. If you find a book that intrigues you, simply tap the Borrow for Free icon to download the book immediately to your Kindle Paperwhite. It required me to go through a menu selection of the things I wanted to install. The things I wasn't sure about, I installed on the side of caution. There was a lot of bloatware and frills I didn't need in that list. Once the process is started, the CD installed everything in its own pre-programmed order, choosing its own points at which to reboot from time to time. You can borrow one book per month. You can’t borrow a new book until the previously borrowed book has been returned. If you aren’t eligible to borrow a book (that is, you’ve reached your monthly quota), the option to Borrow for Free appears dimmed at the Kindle Store. If you have a borrowed book on your Kindle Paperwhite, you’ll be asked to return the book before you can borrow another. Although you can borrow only one book per month, you can keep a book on your device for as long as you want — but you won’t be able to borrow a second book until you return the first one. Although you can see books that are available for borrowing while browsing the Kindle store using your computer, you have to use your Kindle Paperwhite to borrow a book. You can’t send a borrowed book to your Kindle Paperwhite from your computer. If you maintain a Wish List at Amazon, you can access it from your Kindle Paperwhite and see which books on your list are available for free borrowing. Tap Settings, and then swipe the list to see additional options. Your Wish List will be at the top of the list. Tap it, and then Tap Kindle Wish List. Books that are available in the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library will appear with the Prime logo. Overdrive has an exclusive agreement with Amazon to deliver ebooks in the Kindle format. If your local library does business with another provider, such as 3M or Baker & Taylor you are out of luck. Many people wonder what the process is like to borrow an Kindle ebook or download it to your Fire tablet. Kindle e-Reader The United States is the only market that allows you to borrow Kindle books from the library library. If you live in Canada or the United Kingdom you are out of luck. The Kindle is incompatible with Adobe Digital Editions, which is the primary method to borrow EPUB/PDF books on other e-readers by Barnes and Noble or Kobo. If you live in the United States you need to confirm whether your library branch is eligible and carries Kindle books by going to Overdrive, or the website of your local library. Next you need to get a library card and a four digit pin number. Go to the website of your local public library and search for Kindle books / eBooks. At checkout, sign in to your Amazon account, and select the Kindle e-reader, or supported Kindle reading app to send the book to. Connect your device to Wi-Fi and download the title from the Archived Items or Cloud. Can T Download Books From Library To KindleFire Tablet Getting Library Books On KindleOne of the big advantages of the Fire tablet is that you can download and read e-books from any library that supports Overdrive. This allows residents of Australia, Canada, Europe and many others to download and install the Overdrive app from Amazon or the Good e-Reader App Store. Once the app is installed you need to select your local library by selecting your country, province/state and city. It will then give you a list of every library in your area that does business with Overdrive. You can then enter your library card and four digit pin number and find any audiobook or ebook that you want to borrow and it will be delivered directly to your device. Normally it is stored in the cloud, so you want to download it locally. How To Download Books From Library To Kindle FireOverdrive Libby is a brand new app that is lightweight and has more advanced features than the main Overdrive Media Console. It is not available on Amazon yet, much to the chagrin of people who heard really positive things about it. The only way to install this app is to download it from the Good e-Reader App Store and SideLoad it to your Fire. We always keep this app updated, so you can make sure you always have the latest version. Michael Kozlowski is the Editor in Chief of Good e-Reader.
