Also I like some of the extra features of these alternative apps compared to the standard Kindle reading app. It's great to have so many options!
I see you have a T1 I love the idea you can download directly from it. I would use it too if I had one. The majority books I read aren't library books but I do get my agency books from there unless they are on sale. I've just started checking out Audiobooks listen to the first Stephanie plum book yesterday. I love it! so instead of waiting in line for the next one. I went and got me an audible trial sub for 30 days which gave me 2 credits and got me two more of the series.

There's so much you can do on the Fire! It's great!

ADE = Adobe Digital Editions. It's just a DRM epub that you get from the library. Unlike store brought epubs it has a time limit on it to expire. It does depend on the device. On my old reader they never expired. In ADE you will find the epub books under the Borrowed shelf.

I love my T1! The on-device library access is awesome. I get all my audiobooks from the library too.

The borrowed shelf of what??? Are you referring to Mantano?
I think my library had ADE books. Will have to check (when my Fire comes back to life )
(Now I know what you are talking about. I heard of Adobe Editions before but didnt associate ADE with Adobe)

I love audio books. Since getting my Fire Ive listened to 3 audio books loaned from my library. Never used to do that before the Fire.
If the reader is good, it makes it so much more enjoyable.

ADE the desktop program has a borrowed shelf that shows all library DRM epubs and pdfs you checked out.

Okay what happened to your Fire?

A couple more apps for reading epubs on the KF are FBReader and Cool Reader.
I use FBReader because I am used to using it on my old Sharp Zauruses; have not tried Cool Reader.

I tried downloading one of the ebooks from here on MR... i got a kindle version and it was a Prc file. I tried putting it in the books folder and others but it never showed up.
How do i get it to work on the fire? Or do i need a different file type?
