Accessing UK library books on a Kindle
typically requires using a computer to transfer files, as direct Libby app integration is generally unavailable in the UK. The most common method involves borrowing EPUB books via OverDrive/Libby, downloading them, and using a conversion tool like Calibre to change them to Kindle-compatible formats (AZW3 or MOBI) for USB transfer.
Steps to Access UK Library Books on Kindle (eReader)
Borrow the Book: Use the Libby or BorrowBox app/website to borrow an ebook with your UK library card.
Download File: Download the EPUB file to your computer.
Convert Format: Use software like Calibre to convert the EPUB file into AZW3 or MOBI format.
Transfer: Connect your Kindle to your computer via USB and transfer the converted file to the ‘documents’ folder on the Kindle.
Important Notes for UK Users
Libby/OverDrive Limitation: Unlike in the US, the Libby app in the UK usually does not have a “Read on Kindle” option directly.
Alternative Method (Android/Fire): If you have a Kindle Fire tablet, you can download the BorrowBox or Libby app directly from the Amazon Appstore.
Alternative Method (Web Browser): Some newer 10th/11th generation Kindles may allow browsing the library website via the built-in browser, but this is less reliable than computer transfer.
DRM Issues: Some library books may have Digital Rights Management (DRM) that prevents conversion, making them unreadable on dedicated Kindle eReaders.
