Once you've found the book you want to borrow, the app will redirect you to Amazon to complete the transaction, and the book will be sent to your Kindle. Another way is to go to the website of your local public library and search for Kindle books or eBooks. At checkout, sign in to your Amazon account and select the device to which you want to send the book. Connect your device to Wi-Fi and download the title from the Archived Items or Cloud. Additionally, Amazon has a feature that allows you to rent eTextbooks for a minimum of 30 days up to a year, generally for less than half the price of buying them.
