This may have been discussed before - and if it has, I hope there is an answer that will make me happy I bought the old Kindle 3G with keyboard for my father.

My father tried going to the library to download/take out some books, but (and you can see this coming), the library website opens new tabs or windows and therefore does not allow the kindle browser to use it. I can get to the first page of the website (and I have tried 2 different library systems with this, one in Canada and one with a friend in the USA), but when I go to e-content or e-download, I get the ubiquitous error of "Cannot Open Windows" or something like that.
Is there a way to accomplish this using the Kindle 3G with keyboard? Is there a workaround? Am I forced to return this item and get the Kindle Fire or Touch ( I think I am past the return period, grrrr).
Thanks in advance.
