Kindle Books Now on My Media Mall!

This is the news we've been waiting months to hear!  Overdrive, our provider of e-audiobooks and e-books, is now offering Kindle-compatible e-books!

Here's how it works: on your computer, go to My Media Mall and sign in with your library card.  Locate an e-book you wish to checkout and click the "place in cart" link.  Proceed to checkout, set your loan period, and confirm your checkout.  Click the "get for Kindle" button and you'll be taken to Amazon's site.  Sign in with your Amazon account, and then download your book to your Kindle or to any device (including your computer) with a Kindle app.  Per Amazon: Public library books can be sent wirelessly to Kindle devices via an active Wi-Fi connection or transferred via USB. But you'll still need to use a computer first to find, check out, and transfer a book.

Essentially, Amazon is where you'll do the heavy lifting of downloading and transferring your book.  They even have a nifty help page that gives you all the information you'll need to get started: Public Library Books for Kindle.
