Just last week, Amazon announced that they are working with our e-library provider, Overdrive, to make the Kindle compatible with library lending! (read the full press release)
The partnership will directly integrate the Kindle with the thousands of already existing titles in our E-Library collection and they will work the same as they do on other e-reader devices already compatible with the service. Kindle users will be able to browse for titles on any desktop or mobile operating system, check out a title with your library card, and then select Kindle as the delivery destination from the Overdrive e-library site. The borrowed title will then be able to be enjoyed using any Kindle device and all of Amazon’s free Kindle Reading Apps.
We will update as more information regarding the Kindle and Overdrive become available.
