Download eBooks to your Kindle
(or Kindle app, Kindle Cloud Reader, etc.)

 

Before you start,

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

 

·         Start at our eBooks website, morley.lib.overdrive.com

·         Select a book you want and make sure it’s available for Kindle

·         Click on the “Add to Cart” button for Kindle Book

·         You will be taken to your cart; you can click on “Continue Browsing” to select more books or “Proceed to Checkout” to get your book.

·         If you haven’t already logged in, you will be prompted to enter your 14-digit Morley Library card number.

·         At the “Check Out” screen, you will be able to select a 7-day or 14-day checkout period for your book.  You can also remove items you no longer want.  Once you are ready, click on the “Confirm Check Out” button.

·         You will then be taken to the “My Current Checkouts” screen.  Your selected book will have a “Get for Kindle” button.  When you click that button, you will automatically be redirected to Amazon to download your library book to your Kindle. 

·         Depending on the type of Kindle you own, you will either be able to download your book via WiFi or by syncing with your computer.  Amazon will walk you through this.  Note - you must use WiFi to download.  If you use 3G, the book will show up in your Archive, but won't be downloadable.

·         If you finish the book early and would like to return it, go to the “Manage Your Kindle” section of Amazon’s website.  One of the “Actions” available is “Return this book.”

·         Your Kindle will still have the book file on it (saving all of your notes and bookmarks).  If you plan to borrow the book again (or purchase it from Amazon), you can keep the file.  If you are done with the book, you are free to delete the file from your Kindle.

·         If you have any questions, you can come into the library, call us at (440) 352-3383 (ask for Reference)
or email us at OverDrive -at- morleylibrary -dot- org

 

Using the Kindle app
Amazon offers Kindle apps for: Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC and Windows Phone 7.  See their webpage for more details.
Each individual app should be downloadable from the store of your specific device.  Once you've downloaded your specific app, it should sync with Amazon every time you open it.  So simply starting the app should cause any new items you've purchased/borrowed to begin downloading.  If not, check the "Archive" section.

 

Using Kindle Cloud Reader - https://read.amazon.com/
Simply access this URL from your web browser & log into Amazon (using your existing account).
The books in your Kindle account (see Manage Your Kindle to make changes) will show up.  Simply select the one you'd like to read.
