Library eBooks Now Available for the Amazon Kindle®
Wright Library’s eBook collection is now compatible with the Amazon Kindle®! Most existing eBooks available through the library’s membership in the Ohio eBooks Project can now be read on all Kindle devices or by using free Kindle apps on iPhone®, iPad®, Android™, and other mobile devices. View step-by-step instructions.
All browsing, searching, and checkout of eBook titles will remain the same at Wright Library’s Ohio eBooks Project web page. When a user checks out a Kindle Book, a "Get for Kindle" link will be presented that opens a new window (or tab) at Amazon prompting the user to login to their Amazon account. Fulfillment will occur at Amazon's website so the user will need an Amazon account to access the library eBook in the Kindle format. No purchase or credit card is required to create an Amazon Kindle account; users only need to provide an email address.
Once signed in, the user will select which Kindle device or free Kindle app they want to deliver the title to for reading. Browse, check out, and fulfillment of Kindle Books from your library can be completed from web browsers on PC and Mac, iPad, and numerous other tablet devices.
Kindle users will enjoy Whispersync technology that synchronizes notes, highlights, and last page read on the Kindle device and free Kindle apps. As with other titles from the digital collection, the eBook will expire at the end of the lending period.
A few of the PDF eBooks titles are not yet available for Kindle. OverDrive (the company that sells library eBooks) and Amazon are working to reduce this number to achieve greater coverage.
Wright Library, with the help of OverDrive, will continue to provide technical support for most aspects of eBook lending. Once a Kindle user is directed to Amazon's website, Amazon will provide technical support for Kindle Book related issues.
