So what is a Kindle owner to do??
 

Since Sumter County Library has dropped "Overdrive" I am at a loss as to what to do to check out books for my Kindle. I don't have my old library card from Utah. They had a great system, but I got rid of our cards when we moved.

Any suggestions? I do like current fiction and don't want to sign up for a service that has a limited selection or just older releases.

Does anyone have a service that they like? Can we get library cards from Ocala? Do they have a decent program for Kindles?

Help!!

There are many online websites that offer free or very inexpensive books for your Kindle. Try googling " Free Amazon Books for Kindle" for a start. Bookbub.com, pixelofink.com and ereadernewstoday.com are just a few others.

try the library in Philadelphia

Free Library of Philadelphia

Try Kindle Buffet. I like this one because the app lets me read the book on both devices and my phone. While I don't care to read a book on a phone, I got stuck in a car for 3 hours and was thankful that I had it. Free books are great!

Amazon Prime

Book sends. Com is another site.

Kindle Unlimited.
30 day free trial.

The problem with these sites is that they do not have the latest books for FREE. That is why I liked using the Sumter library with my Kindle. I stopped by the Belvedere branch the other day to pick up some hardback books and the guy behind the counter had no sympathy for me and my Kindle problem.

With Sumter Library no longer working with OverDrive & having received a new iPad for Christmas - I downloaded the Library2Go! app as well as the Axis 360 which work well as replacements.

Another is thriftbooks

I belong to a membership deal with Amazon for about $9.00 a month. I get tons of free books through there. I am never without something to read. You check out books and return them then you can get more.
Many of the books I get would normally cost $4-$5 each if you purchased them in the kindle store and I get unlimited with this.

We got library cards at the Lady Lake Library. Cost is $40 per year per household. The Overdrive works the same, online, as the Sumter Co Library did. Worth the $40 and supports another local business.

Are you referring to Amazon Prime?
 

If not what other "membership deal" are you using?

Consider purchase of a small Android tablet with Google Play so you could add the Axis360 app needed for the Sumter Library. Since your purpose is reading books, skip the more expensive tablets with 18 cameras, a processor that would sent a rocket to Mars, etc. Just look for a comfortable-to-hold size, access to Google Play, decent battery life, and an acceptable screen for eye comfort.

For any tablet you're considering, check the reviews to see what other users think. Skip the "greatest tablets for 2016" because they'll likely be the latest, greatest and most expensive.

You can find a tablet that will do the job for less, even much less, than $100. To get started, you could check Walmart's site and the reviews on inexpensive tablets there.

This site provides a link to a document which describes how to get non kindle approved apps onto your Kindle. Once the kindle allows it use the Silk web Browser to find and download the library2go app
