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.
I just read another forum what the poster above suggested.

I can get the window from Amazon to open on my Kindle if I disable Javascript first. (Press menu and browser settings.) Once the window pops up and I click get for my Kindle, then I enable Javascript. Don't know if it's possible to do on a Touch.
The Kindle Fire will let you do this but it's a LCD Tablet. If you're looking for a EInk device that's let's you borrow straight from the library the Sony T1 has this feature without the work around.
