Can I order free books from the library for the KINDLE application on my new laptop?

My new laptop has a KINDLE application but all the online books cost money. Aren't they free at the library, and how do I access that?

    There are many free Kindle books on Amazon's website but most of them are the classics.

    As for the library, each one is different so you will have to contact your local branch. My library allows for the download of Kindle version books in the same way that you borrow a book from the library. You can have it for three weeks and then it is locked out. They have a couple copies of each Kindle book and there is a long waiting list for some of the most popular new books.

    Yes get your books from overdrive.

    Download the app: http://omc.overdrive.com/

    I used to buy books but now I get them all from the Overdrive public library program in my town. Here is my area one: http://dbooks.wplc.info/DD64A6A7-9939-4A12-8680-50... Find yours here: http://www.overdrive.com/

    All you need to sign up is your local library card that is up to date. Then you can sign up now. Just register with your card and your password sometimes they let you pick one or it could be your last 4 numbers of your card or last 4 numbers of your social security number.

    So I can have 10 books checked out at a time. I can set it up for 7, 14, or 21 day checkout period. I pick 21 because you can return them earlier if needed. To return the book file is timed so at your check out day the file will disappear automatically off all devices. If you read it early just use the return function when done so that anyone who wants it can get it earlier. There are so many books available to read now and some have waiting lists. You can go on the waiting list for 10 books and they will email you when its your turn. They have several copies usually so it does not take long to get the books usually.

    Now when you check out a book for the Kindle application you would pick the Kindle format. However, please note if you download the overdrive app, you can pick epub format books and just read those right on the Overdrive Media Console which is like its own reader app. That is what I do on my Kindle Fire tablet. If I download a Kindle format book it just downloads to my tablet in my Kindle book section. However, if I want a book that epub format I just read it on the overdrive console.

    Yes going through a site called Overdrive will allow you to get free ebooks for the Kindle from your local library directly to the Kindle.

    Also, there are lots of free ebooks for the Kindle at Amazon and other places and there are a lot that are recent works. Many of the recent are free only for a limited time and you can monitor that or choose a site that monitors and updates you.

    if your a prime member there is a section where you can borrow books for free in the kindle library. if your not a prime member you have to pay for them. although, there are free books that can be downloaded. you have to click on the price low to high and the free books with obviously be listed first.the best way to purchase books is sign into amazon on your computer. then search through the books on your laptop. then purchase them(including free books,you have to purchase free books) and when you sign into the kindle app on your laptop the books will be available. it is just easier to look through the books and read the book descriptions on your laptop than it is your kindle app. contact me if you need more help. jdbj32m@yahoo.com
