I did a search and found a thread on how to get library books on the Fire. I tried to follow the recommendations, but still can't make it work. I belong to one local library and to the Phoenix city library system, both of which are set up to send books to the Kindle.
As suggested, I first went to Overdrive to see what was what. It wanted to know the city or the ZIP code of where the libraries were. I put in the two different ZIP codes, and got a response that there were no libraries there. Huh?
I called the Phoenix main library and they gave me a link to a place on their website that had tutorials on how to do this. Eventually it directed me to a link that would get me back to Overdrive where supposedly there was a way to download the software. No such link.
One time I was messing around at the Overdrive site and I got a box pop up that said some plugins were necessary to access the site. I hit the box to download these,and got a message that no plugins were necessary. Huh again?
I also went to the Kindle page that gives step-by-steps on how to download, and of course, the first link directed me right back to Overdrive, which still was no help.
What am I missing? Somewhere in all this messing around, the Kindle noted something to the effect that no software was required, as the Fire was set up to do this automatically. Yet, they wanted me to go to Overdrive. Huh, the 3rd time?
Is there any place where there is a Directions for Dummies on how to get library books to my Fire?
