Miami-Dade Public Library System

(MIAMI, FL, SEPTEMBER 28, 2011) The Miami-Dade Public Library and its partner OverDrive are pleased to announce that the Amazon® Kindle eBook collection now available. This update allows for most of the Library System’s eBooks collection to be read on all Kindle devices or by using free Kindle apps for iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ and other mobile devices.

Visit http:// ebooks.mdpls.org, browse and check out a Kindle book. Just click the ‘Get for Kindle’ button after check out and you will be directed to the Amazon.com website. You may be required to sign in with your Amazon.com account if you are not already logged in. Select your Kindle device or Kindle reading app. Click the ‘Get library book’ button and sync your device or app to download the book, or choose to send it to your device via USB.

Kindle compatibility with library eBooks also takes full advantage of Amazon’s Whispersync technology.  If you check out the eBook again at a later date or choose to purchase the eBook from the Kindle Store, all of your notes, bookmarks and highlights will be preserved.  The last page read will also be synched between your Kindle and free Kindle reading apps.
