Thanks for the info on where it occurs. I'll report it and hope
they can fix this one too.l

Click on "Get for Kindle" (this is where it gets hung up)

A 2nd thing I want to check is whether the current stop to the redirect to Amazon due to the new-window browser call stops the book from appearing on the Amazon servers. If it winds up there, at least we know that until that new-window call is fixed, we can order with it.
At that point we can still have it deposited to the Kindle via WiFi.
I'll also write Overdrive, since their programming is calling the new-window to see if they can change that so Amazon doesn't have to.

This library book borrowing process must have been tested on a Kindle—you would think!

You'd think!

I have only mediocre HTML skills and even I know how to code a page to open in the same browser window.  Perhaps they had to do it for site security reasons. I don't know.

It wouldn't likely be for site security. Probably it would be so it would let people stay on the current Library page and look around some more after they've sent that request to Amazon. Once the Amazon delivery is finished, the person is plopped right back down on the library to look around more.
The 'same browser window' is usually the way things are done. Maybe they just want people to see a little new window with their big one still in the background...
Anyway, thanks much for that detailed step-by-step.
