1/9/18 3 Library eBooks that come in a Kindle format can be read on Kindles and Kindle reading apps on many devices. Kindles with a Wi-Fi internet connection can download most books directly from Amazon. Some Kindles may require you to manually transfer the eBooks from your PC or Mac via USB. You can check out Amazon's support page for instructions on how to do this.

If your device supports Wi-Fi delivery, start your Kindle or Kindle app to complete the download.

Certain publishers' titles are not available for over-the-air delivery. If over-the-air delivery is not available, you will need to download the title to a computer, then load it on to your Kindle via USB.

Kindle Books checked out from your library are saved to your Kindle account so that you can download them again whenever you need to during the lending period.

Once you deliver a library book to your Kindle or Kindle reading app, it reads just like any other Kindle Book. Any notes you take, or bookmarks you make will be saved. If you ever check out the same title again, or buy it from the Kindle store, you'll find your notes safe and sound right where you left them.

Another option is to read eBooks borrowed from your library on Kindle Cloud Reader. All you need is a compatible browser (Chrome or Safari) and an Internet connection. As long as you're online, you can read Kindle Books right from your web browser.

When you read Kindle Books from your library, your bookmarks, notes, and reading progress are all synced with your Kindle account. That means, if you make a note in a book you're reading on the Kindle Cloud Reader, you can look at it later on your Kindle or Kindle Reading App as long as you have Internet access.
