I don't know what to say. I have a Kindle 2 and every OverDrive Library book I've ever borrowed has been available to my Kindle for PC/Mac apps via the archive.

No. High Fidelity does not appear there:
It's no longer listed in my Media Library, either. When I try to download High Fidelity via the Philly library link to Amazon, these are my USB options... As you can see, only the actual Kindle devices are not greyed out: |

OK, Tubemonkey and all, I'm missing something on tie process...
Do I, or do I NOT, need a Kindle - an actual Kindle device as opposed to the Kindle app - to get a Penguin book from the library? Can you lay out the detailed steps for me to get the book from the "Download" button at the library on to the PC with the Kindle app? |

If you have the Kindle device/PID, you do the USB download of the file for your Kindle. Just leave this file on your hard drive or delete it--it doesn't matter. Then fire up your K4PC app and go to the archives and you can open the file. The USB download keyed to the Kindle device seems to be a necessary step to getting the book in your Amazon library, from which it will show up as an archived book on your apps. This whole thing is stupid beyond belief, but so is thinking that using Overdrive doesn't have enough "friction." Last edited by Joykins; 02-29-2012 at 12:21 AM. |

Yes, just get the ePub. I have yet to come across a library book that only had a Kindle version.
