And I'm unable to get to any of them through Amazon. I checked out one and followed the link and got an error at Amazon.

Chatting with support. Can anyone else check them out?

I don't have access to library books through my Kindle but I was able to get the audiobooks from my library if that helps at all. Good luck!!

Amazon: "Our website seems to be working fine since I am using it all the time." Sigh.

I opened up a ticket with the library system too.

Maybe it's a problem with the Kindle editions.

I was finally able to find out what the Potter books are costing libraries...

Books 1-3 = $22.95/each

Books 4-7 = $26.95/each

They just showed up on my library this afternoon, and no one has checked them out yet! No wait!

I put myself on the waiting list at the Toronto Public library as soon as I knew that the books were coming. Today I was able to borrow book 4.

Toronto seems to have 15 copies of each book.

BC Library has 6 copies of each book, and still has 1 copy available of the first, with increasingly more copies available of later books.

Of course, if you want the audio book, there are 87 on the waiting list for the first book. Good luck with that.

I got a couple through Amazon just now. I guess they fixed it.

Just got book #1 through Clevnet. I was under the impression Overdrive would send me to Pottermore to fulfill the loan, but the book downloaded from Amazon just like any other library book.

Book #2 is available too, but it's messed up somewhere on Amazon's side and won't download at the moment.

There could be a problem with the second one...I checked out #1 and #4.

It started working this morning. I guess there must have been something wrong with Amazon.
