3m Library Cloud on Kindle Touch

njmd · 09-13-2016, 02:26 AM

Hi, sorry for starting a new thread but I feel that I've got a good reason.

I've been trying to get access to ebooks from my local library on my Kindle Touch. I'm happy to jailbreak it but I couldn't really find anything about what to do next. Can you think of any alternative os or an app that allows reading 3m cloud library ebooks on jailbroken KT?

The way you transfer ebooks from 3m CL to other readers (Nook or Kobo) means that the 3mCL windows app would have to see my KT as a different reader.

Any ideas?

There is no direct method for getting 3m Cloud library ebooks on the Kindle.

The only way yo do this is to first strip the DRM, and then convert the ebook to Kindle format.

3M cloud does not support Kindle formats or Kindle DRM. What Nate says is correct. However, you should be aware that removing drm from library books is frowned upon and not supported by Mobileread, Apprentice Alf's blog or the developers of the tools and plugins used for removing DRM. The purpose of the tools (and the plugin) is to enable you to make full use of the ebooks you "own".

Please tell your library they should stop cheaping out, and instead switch to OverDrive which actually supports the most popular US E-Ink ereader.
