Our county library now supports Overdrive for the Kindle. Yesterday, I downloaded a book and it was effortless. I can read it on the Kindle app on my laptop. But I would like to transfer it to the Kindle device. I attached the USB, but can't drag-n-drop the library book from the laptop Kindle app to the device. Actually, I can't drag-n-drop the library book anywhere! I'm thinking this is a rights management feature.

I also tried the "SYNC" option from the Kindle app. It didn't work. Has anyone done this? It's a first generation Kindle. My Fire is pre-ordered and I hope I wont have this much trouble.

I keep thinking, "... there has to be a way..." but maybe not.

Thanks
Karen.
