How it works

Select the “Account” icon, choose the New Braunfels Public Library from the drop-down menu and then enter your library card number from the back of the card.

Browse and select the title you would like to checkout.

From there, borrow a Kindle and complete checkout on Amazon's website. You will be able to wirelessly send the book to your Kindle device or reading app. Kindle devices require a Wi-Fi connection to download most from Amazon.

Note: Certain publishers' titles are not available for over-the-air . For these, you will need to download the title to your computer, then transfer it to your Kindle via USB. Please Amazon's support page for instructions on how to do this. Kindle Books checked out from your library are saved to your Kindle account so that you can download them multiple times during the lending period, desired.

Enjoy

Once you deliver a library Kindle book to your device or reading app, it works like any other Kindle Book. Your bookmarks, notes, and reading progress are synced with your Kindle account so that you can access these features from any Kindle or reading app as long as you have Internet access. Additionally, if you ever check out the same title again or buy it from the , your notes will be preserved.
