Overdrive sends you to Amazon's site to redeem the book. But I'm one that has made heavy use of the web browser when hooked up ti WiFi networks and I go to manageyourdevice page with it to select things, as ungainly as that can be, and I download books from Amazon webpages now, with WiFi (the ordering AND delivery works under WiFi web browsing).

It surprises me I couldn't use the WiFi web browser on my Kindle to go to the library and do the transaction with it. I click on links to buy from Amazon and it works for downloading books.
