Q. How do I download Axis 360 ebooks to my Kindle? - LibAnswers

I was excited to check out the link but it states that it only works on Kindle fire and some of the other tablet internet Kindles with browsing capability. So I think I am still screwed.

I'm gonna try to see if any of the other Kindle websites provide access to new releases. I don't want to pay per book or a monthly fee. The Overdrive app was so good. It is too bad they stopped using it.

I would suggest you try the Kindle Boards forum (www dot kboards dot com).
Very knowledgeable and helpful folks.
I wasn't aware of any Kindle without wifi browsing capability.

The library in Gainsville use Overdrive. A library card is free to any resident in Florida but must be applied for in person. I picked up mine after the switch to axis360 by Sumter Library (axis 360 absolute garbage, full of glitches) I went to Micanopy, just North of Ocala of I75, quaint town, had lunch, browsed the antique stores, then the library. Very helpful and aware of Sumter’s switch to axis360, I do not think I was the first from Sumter County too visit because of axis360.

The Lady Lake library has overdrive, but since Sumter County library does not have a agreement with Lake County, the library card will cost you $40 per year. Well worth it. The problem is that Sumter County Library doesn't care what we want or think. I feel sorry for the employees with all the grief they are getting.

Overdrive available
 
Durham is correct. Alachua County District Library Cards are free to FL residents. You must go in person. The link below will give you all the information, and it has a link to all the locations.

I have a Kindle Fire and so far the Axis 360 is working OK. Initially I couldn't find the book I had downloaded on my Kindle because I was clicking on books and didn't realize you have to click on the Axis 360 app. I don't like it as well as Overdrive and wish it were simpler.

I have a Nook and it does not work with it. I also have a cheap RCA e-reader from Walmart that is Android and does not work either. Not sure what features it needs to be compatible with Axis 360 as both e-readers worked with Over Drive. Very disappointed.

Buy the books! The authors need the money.

Or borrow thru Amazon Prime But buy some and help the authors.

Google Free Library of Philadelphia. It is free for senior citizens and uses Overdrive.

"Out-of-state residents can obtain a card by paying an annual fee of $50.00. Out-of-state residents must Apply Online and pay online with a credit card."

If you have a relative somewhere else and their library uses overdrive ask them to get a library card if they don’t already have one and then you can log on with that number and get books for your kindle.
