But the choice is yours, and I will lay out both methods.

You can read the errata section for more details as to why. I’m asking you this question now, because the steps you take will differ depending on your choice. Once you have the library card (you may also need a pin or password), stop and ask yourself this:ĭo you want to read on the Kindle or in your web browser, or do you want to read on OverDrive’s apps? You’ll of course need to get a library ebook before checking out any ebooks, and for that you’ll need to check with the library.

Most libraries will only issue a library card to local residents, but a handful do issue cards to non-residents. You can search for a local library through the OverDrive website. To start, you will need a library card for a library which is also an OverDrive partner. Audiobooks must be downloaded through a different method and are therefore not available on non-Fire Kindles.Here’s how you can read OverDrive ebooks. If an OverDrive or Libby ebook is not available in Kindle format, you must use the OverDrive or Libby apps.Īlso, be aware the Kindle format is only available for eBooks. Almost all OverDrive and Libby titles are available to read in a Kindle format, but sometimes publisher restrictions make them unavailable. The app is unnecessary for Kindles, Kindle Paperwhites, and Kindle Fires. The Kindle app is available for most smartphones and tablets. **PLEASE NOTE : As of Amazon will not be removing the OverDrive app from the Kindle Fire store at this time, so even after 2/23/22, users will be able to download the OverDrive app to their Kindle Fire.** OverDrive does not have any updates on Libby app availability in the Kindle Fire app store.Users with a Kindle Fire can also access Libby in the Fire browser by going to.
