Woot! Library books for Kindle!

http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/04/20/amazon.kindle.library.loan/index.html?hpt=Sbin

The article doesn't say when, but Kindle books will be available on OverDrive, the system that many libraries (including my local!) use for eBook lending.  I am so fricking excited about this - more free, good eBooks!

    Yay, that's great news!  I found out how to get PDF books from my library, but haven't actually spent the time to try to download one to my Kindle.  I'd much rather have something that's just the right format to start with.

  • I'm pretty sure the only way to get a non-Kindle book into Kindle format is to do something illegal.  I could be wrong, but from the time I've spent on the Book Club board, that's what I've determined.

    From what I read when I was looking into it at my library, you should be able to read PDFs on the Kindle, so it's not changing it into Kindle format, but somehow still reading it on the Kindle.  But I haven't tried it yet, so I can't really say.
