Newfie56: I was in your position back in November. I knew I wanted a Kindle because it was the best e-reader. I was unhappy that I would not be able to borrow library books as that is where I get most of my books. I received a private message (on another forum) telling me not to let that deter me from buying the Kindle because there is a workaround. You have been offered the opportunity to PM someone on this forum who will help you if you run into problems. That person was a big help for me. Now I can say that checking out library books is easy.
You have also been provided information to help you determine if this workaround is legally and ethically OK with you. This is something that I think each individual user needs to figure out for themselves. I am of the opinion that it is OK as I am borrowing something that I am allowed to borrow. I don't lend it to anyone else. Others disagree. As I said, this is something only you have to decide.
But know that it can be done. It is not hard, even for a novice like me. I did run into a few snags, but the helpful people on this forum walked me through it and everything is up and running smoothly. I have a long wait on some books at the library, and a very short to no wait on others. I'm very satisfied with the outcome. It might be worth a try before your return period for your husband's Kindle expires. You are not modifying your Kindle at all. All the programs and plug-ins are installed on your computer.
Good luck!
