Thanks, all. One problem I had is that I have not been back to the library since I bought my Kindle1 some four years ago. It did no good to keep entering my library card number, for as I found out today when going there, it had expired through lack of use. :-(
They quickly brought my card up-to-date, and when I went back to that library's website, it was surprisingly easy to find a book, click on "checkout" which did bring me to the Amazon page, which showed it as a library book (at no cost). i sent it to the Fire, and it arrived just as quickly as a purchased book.
Wonderful. When I consider what a fortune I have spent on hundreds of books over the years, I don't feel guilty about using the free library ones. Amazon, you sure knew what you were doing by selling the Kindles. Sorry, but I am going to get library books for a while.
