Borrow E-Books, On Kindle Required – The New York Times

Q. Do you have to have a Kindle to borrow e-books from the library? Can you use a different device or computer instead?

A. While you generally need a Kindle device or Kindle reading app to borrow e-books in the Kindle format, many public libraries offer e-books in other formats that work on a wide variety of devices. Visit the website of your local library to see what software is needed to check out and read e-books in other formats.

Most major libraries have dedicated, easy-to-find sections of their sites devoted to lending electronic materials — the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library system, Boston Public Library, Louisville Free Public Library, the Salt Lake City Public Library system and the San Francisco Public Library are just a few around the country. The E-Book Central page on the website of the New York Public Library explains all the options for borrowing digital content and has links to the library”s own reading app, NYPL SimplyE, for Android and iOS devices.

Depending on the library, you can install the free software and borrow books in formats compatible with the Axis 360 digital media service, cloudLibrary or Adobe Digital Editions software.

Thousands of libraries around the country use software and services from OverDrive.com to lend e-books. The site has a list of libraries nationwide that offer e-books and other digital content — and instructions on how to borrow them. The OverDrive site has its own free reading app for borrowing electronic material on Amazon and Nook tablets, as well as on Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices.

the OverDrive software is also available for Google Chrome, Windows and Mac computers if you want to read on a laptop or desktop computer. For the streamlined approach, the Kobo Aura One e-reader allows you to check out the OverDrive-managed content directly from the Kobo book catalog instead of having to use Adobe Digital Editions to read the e-books, but not every library supports the Aura One device yet.

In addition to the software required by the library, you typically need a valid library card from the institution to borrow electronic books and other downloadable content. Check with your local branch for specific information on e-book lending periods, for renewals and returns.

Amazon beefs up content with Westland buy is Kindle push – Business Standard

Global e-commerce major Amazon on Friday will pay Rs 39.80 crore to acquire the publishing arm of Westland Ltd, giving it access to a library of popular books and offer local content to push higher sales of its Kindle reader in India.

The acquisition, which includes its imprints Tranquebar, EastWest and Mikro will also help Amazon score over rival Flipkart by offering ahead books by authors such as Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi exclusively to its customers.

Westland was a unit of Trent, the retail company of the Tata Group. In February, Amazon had paid Rs 9.5 crore to acquire 26% in Westland with an option to buy out the remaining stake in the five decade old company, taking its total investment to nearly Rs 50 crore.

Westland continues to retain its trade books business.

Books continue to be a popular item sold on India’s e-commerce stores.

Both Amazon, founded by Jeff Bezos, the promoter of Amazon and his Indian rivals Sachin and Binny Bansal began their respective ventures selling books online. Amazon has gone a step ahead launching e-books on its Kindle platform.

In India, Amazon offers over 3 million books to Kindle users, while it has also stepped up the device sales in the country. It does not disclose the number of Kindle users in the country.

“Our acquisition of Westland continues our commitment to India, enabling Amazon to bring Westland’s highly talented authors and their books to even more customers in India and around the world,” said Amit Agarwal, Vice President and Country Manager at Amazon India in a statement.

Interestingly, Amazon, which is a marketplace in India has executed the buy through Amazon”s unit in Luxembourg, the European tax haven. This will allow it to bypass India’s foreign direct investment with norms for e-commerce marketplaces that prohibits a single vendor owning over 25 per cent of sales on the platform.

Amazon offers discount on Kindles and allows you to experience e-reader for six months – Leisa (Blog)

Amazon is promoting this Wednesday (26) the Kindle Day, a day with promotions of ebooks and discounts of R$ 80 on the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite or the Kindle Voyage. But the most interesting is that, to encourage the purchase of ebook readers, the Amazon will allow consumers to test a Kindle for six months — and return the product if you do not like the experience.

Works almost like a "return by repentance" is super long. By the Code of Defense of the Consumer, who buys a product on the internet you can return it within seven days from the date of receipt. In the promotion, you may be able to buy a Kindle on Amazon’s site, try it for six months and then decide his destiny. "If you choose the refund, have the refund of the amount paid for the product, without asking questions," says the Amazon.

All the models of Kindles are with discount on Amazon this Wednesday (26): Kindle ($ 219), Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi ($ 399), Kindle Paperwhite 3G ($ 619), Kindle Voyage (R$ 819) and Kindle (Oasis R$ to 1,319) — this last one isn’t part of the promotion of the six months of tasting.

As I have already commented on the reviews, for most users, the option with the best cost-benefit ratio is the Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi: it brings up a screen with resolution significantly better than the basic model, allows you to read in the dark with recessed lighting and is not as absurdly expensive as the Kindle Voyage or Kindle Oasis, that have improvements in the finish and ergonomics.

All the details are in the page of the Kindle Day.

It is not yet BlackFriday, but Amazon puts Kindle in superpromoção with six months of test – Tudocelular.com

The BlackFriday happens only at the end of next month, more precisely on the 25th of November, however several stores have promotions not to miss. An example of this is Amazon, which promotes this Wednesday (26), Kindle Day.

To make the promotion even more interesting and encourage the purchase of devices, Amazon allows customers to test the Kindle for a period of six months and if you don’t like it, which is very difficult, may return the same and get the money back. Remembering that according to the Consumer Defense Code, the same has that right, only that only for a period of seven days after receipt.

If you’re interested, the values are the following: Kindle ($ 219), Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi ($ 399), Kindle Paperwhite 3G ($ 619), Kindle Voyage (R$ 819) and Kindle (Oasis R$ to 1,319), this last not included in the promotion of the six months. Will lose this unique opportunity?

If you are in doubt on what to purchase, the Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi has the best cost-benefit ratio, with the screen having definition and superior illumination compared to the basic model. In relation to the other, the big difference is on account of better finish, and ergonomics, which for some it’s not even disturbing.

More a that go: Amazon is going to take the app from the Kindle Store Windows – Tudocelular.com

In August, Amazon launched a new app store for Windows 10, embracing the Universal Platform. Shortly before, the company had pulled the app from the Store a week before, saying that it is not time, more support for mobile devices. Now is the time Kindle leave the Windows Store. However, it should be final.

The company is sending e-mail to some users, stating that the Kindle app for Windows 8 will leave the Shop on October 27. There will still be an option for PC users, who can download an executable and install another version, the Kindle for PC. Like we did ten years ago.

According to Amazon, the idea is to "to simplify our approach and focus on efforts" in this app, which also works in other versions of the operating system – including XP. The application available in the Store works only on devices with Windows 8, and does not receive updates since 2013.

In recent years, the Amazon has endured two apps Kindle separate for Windows PCs. In order to offer to our customers Windows the best reading experience, we are simplifying our approach and focusing our efforts on the Kindle for PC.

If you are currently using our other app Windows Kindle for Windows 8) in one or more of your PCs, we recommend that you upgrade to the Kindle for PC for the best experience and latest features. We’ve updated the app regularly, including new features such as the highlight of multicolored, better search, and support for textbooks.

To simplify the experience for consumers Windows, let’s remove the Kindle for Windows 8 from the Windows Store on October 27, 2016. If you already have the app installed on your PC and you want to continue using it, you can download and read books as it does today. If you uninstall the app, will not be able to reinstall it from the Store.

Apparently, the idea is to go back to the ancient times of computing, and force users to download an executable to install the Kindle on their computers. Well, on the one hand, there is the advantage of this to be compatible with older versions of the system. But it does not make sense to embark with the online shop on the Platform Universal and do not follow the same path with the reader of ebooks.

there is no mention about the removal or not of the app Kindle for Windows 8 Mobile.
