How to Download eBooks for Kindle From the LCLS Online Catalog


1. Go to the Overdrive eBook catalog section listing Kindle titles.

2. Add the eBooks you wish to check out to your eCart, and then proceed to checkout. You can check out up to 10 eBooks at a time, and the loan period is 14 days. If an eBook is already checked out by another patron, you may place an eHold on it.

3. Sign in by entering your library card number. On the next screen, view the eBook(s) you have selected to check out, and click on "Get for Kindle." A second window will open, taking you to Amazon.com

4. Viewing the library book on Amazon.com, click on "Get Library Book" on the right side of the screen. You will be prompted to enter your Amazon.com login information. (Note: You must use the email address you entered when you registered your Kindle.) Then choose your device from a drop-down list and click Continue.

5. Your eBook has now been delivered to your device and will download the next time you are connected to Wi-Fi.

6. If you wish to download your eBook directly to your Kindle from your computer via the USB cord (if you cannot connect to Wi-Fi), click Download Now. You will be prompted to save the file. Choose your Kindle from the location list and save the file in the documents folder. Now when you unplug your Kindle from the computer, the book should show up as downloaded and ready to read.
