Kindle E-Books now available through Minuteman!


You can now borrow Kindle E-books from the Minuteman Library Network website
(http://www.mln.lib.ma.us), and, with the click of a button, have them delivered to your Kindle device or mobile Kindle reading app.

Instructions:
  1. Visit the Minuteman Library Network Website.
  2. Click on the link for “Overdrive
  3. Review the Quick- Start guide here
  4. Search for an e-book – go to “Advanced Search” and change format to “Kindle Book”
  5. Check out a Kindle book (library card required).
  6. Click on "Get for Kindle." You will then be directed to Amazon.com to redeem your public library loan. You may be required to login to your Amazon.com account -- or create a new account -- if you're not already logged in.
  7. Choose to read the book on your Kindle device, mobile Kindle reading app, or Kindle Cloud Reader.
Notes:

  1.  You have to create a digital media account for yourself with your library card number and PIN. Do that here.
  2. You will need to have an active Amazon.com account in order to use this service.  It is suggested that you set one up first on your computer.
  3. Public library books require an active Wi-Fi connection for wireless delivery to a Kindle device. Library books will not be delivered via your Kindle's 3G connection. If trying to send to a Kindle device and do not have an active Wi-Fi connection, you may instead choose to load your library book via USB. Both Mac and Windows users can manage Kindle content through a USB connection.
