Reading Kindle Books on a Kindle ereader

Some Libby books can be read on a Kindle ereader. You can check if a book is available for Kindle by tapping the book jacket, then scrolling to the "Read With" section. If you're using a Fire tablet, we recommend installing and reading with Libby instead.

  1. Once you've borrowed a book, go to the Loans section
  2. Tap Read With....
  3. Tap Kindle
  4. You'll be taken to Amazon's website (you may be prompted to sign in to your Amazon account)
  5. Tap Get Library Book. The book will appear in all Kindle apps and devices associated with your Amazon account
