Library lending for the Kindle seems a little closer - just noticed this while doing an Overdrive search:

If you go to the "Device Resource Center", it lists all Kindles as devices that are "compatible with OverDrive EPUB eBooks". I must have missed the discussion on this.

We have a "confirmed" report of someone downloading an ebook from the Seattle Public Library to their Kindle in this thread.

So it's really here then. I'm itching to test it out but my two US libraries don't seem to be set up yet.

Like this. The Seattle Public Library shows 28,973 ebooks in its collection. When you click on the Kindle link, only 22,480 ebooks are available. Does that mean 6,493 ebooks can't be downloaded to the Kindle?

Does the kindle set up allow you to return the book early like Adobe does for the ebooks?

The other day my library listed Amazon Kindle as Beta. Today it doesn't list Amazon Kindle at all.
Hmm. Carol |
