Yes, in order for Kindle Library Lending to work through our eMedia program, you will need a registered Kindle with an active Amazon account.

The number of copies available will vary from one title to another depending upon the amount of customer interest and demand. Currently, our system uses the one copy, one user model. It’s very similar to how our physical collections work. We have a certain number of copies available at any given time for our library customers. We can only physically checkout copies that are not already checked out by or on hold for another customer.

When you are downloading an eBook from our system, you get the option of which format you wish to receive it in. From there it will check out one copy of the available copies of the eBook. If all copies of the eBook title are checked out, you can place a reserve. Library staff will monitor the number of check-outs and reserves for titles and will purchase additional copies to meet demand.
