    Yeah, me too. After all, the Kindle is the best selling e-reader!

    OverDrive (the company that provides our eBook service) and Amazon are hard at work to make library eBooks compatible with the Kindle. They expect this to launch this fall — stay tuned, as we’ll be sure to publicize it widely once this happens!

    Please don’t leave out my beloved iPad with the Kindle App and Audible App! I’m dying for a compatible app from KDL.

    Hi Ruth Ann,

    OverDrive has assured us that when Kindle compatibility becomes available, it will be available for devices running the Kindle app as well. In the meantime, you can use the “OverDrive Media Console” app on your iPad to access eBooks and eAudiobooks from KDL right now! See http://help.overdrive.com/MyHelpMH22 (eBooks) and http://help.overdrive.com/MyHelpMH06 (eAudiobooks) for instructions, and just let us know if you have any questions!

    Thanks,

    Will the digital bookmobile be making any stops to one of the libraries at the north end of town? Sure hope so!
