And even though you may be feeling good about them because they delivered dog food to your house during the pandemic, that doesn’t mean you want to buy books from them – you’re a book borrower – not a buyer!Īmazon has a lot of free books. But if you’re looking for even more options, there are a few more.Īmazon: This is the path of least resistance! Amazon has a proprietary eBook format because they want you to buy from them. You can continue using Overdrive, you’ll just need to add a new library and enter your FLP card number.

To be honest, this solution will satisfy most of you. And FLP has Overdrive! And you can apply for a card online! (time to drag out that tablet again!). The Easiest Solution – Free Library of Philadelphia (FLP): Anyone who lives in the state of Pennsylvania can get a FLP card without charge.

If you would like to read ebooks on your Kindle eReader through cloudLibrary, email and request that Amazon allow compatibility with cloudLibrary. But before we go any further, grab that tablet or laptop and write an email. I am here to help you find free books for your Kindle. I know many of you have tablets already, but it’s the simplicity of reading on a Paperwhite that you love – it’s the closest in experience to a real book, without the distractions a tablet provides – like email, Instagram, and games. I know you don’t want to be told “just read on a tablet”. It quickly became my chosen device for reading ebooks – most likely for the same reasons so many of you love it: it’s lightweight and the screen is easy on the eyes and visible in even the brightest sunlight, long battery life – and, just like you, I’ve been known to slide it into airplane mode occasionally if I haven’t quite finished a library book by its due date. I understand your disappointment – I originally purchased a Paperwhite so I could learn how to help patrons get library books onto this popular eReader. For most of our eBook readers, the transition to cloudLibrary should be pretty smooth, but for those of us who love reading on our Paperwhites – it hurts a little, because Overdrive is the only service that allows borrowing library books in a Kindle eReader format. You might have heard that Overdrive will no longer be available through the Bucks County Free Library. Hey there, Kindle eReader users… we need to talk!
