Download library books to Kindle
I thought I was pretty computer-savy until I went on this site and realized I have a LOT to learn
I just bought the Kindle and want to download library books onto the device, however the library only supports ePub. Can someone be so kind and post simple but detailed instructions on how to make this happen. . . Thank you so much for taking the time to help!!! |

You can't put ePub library books on the Kindle. The Kindle software does not read ePub books at all.
Sorry. |

I think if you read the thread on this forum titled 'help for Kindle 6' you'll find a lot of information. I found it very helpful on this topic. (Sorry, if I knew how to put a link in I would have )

Oh yeah, the ethical aspects are discussed pretty much everywhere on this forum if you want help with your moral compass!

If reading library books is your priority, I would return the Kindle and get something like a Sony Reader in its place. Excellent though the Kindle is, it's not the device for this purpose.

I think this need to be a FAQ and stickied on top.
