Download eBooks to your Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire HD
 

Before you start,

Make sure you have an Amazon account and that you know your username and password.

     You’ll also want to have a free Adobe ID account (Adobe requires it to authenticate Adobe Digital Editions).  You can do that at http://goo.gl/kDgqm.

 

The instructions for downloading a book to a Kindle eReader will work.  The book will be added to your Kindle just like another other book.

Additionally, the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD also support the download of EPUB eBooks & MP3 audiobooks from OverDrive.  To download these materials, you will need to download the OverDrive Media Console app from Amazon.
