To complete this training you will need a library card number,
your Amazon account information, and a Kindle

You may need to contact Amazon dot com.
First if you're not there yet
go to our online collection at www

First find an ebook you'd like to check out.

Kindle books
let's limit our search to just Kindle books. Click
on the plus sign by "Formats". Now click on
"Kindle book"

ebooks available for checkout. You can tell an item is available
if the icon in the upper right hand corner is dark.
For example today Twelve Drummers Drumming
is available.
Clicking on the cover the book will tell you more information
about it. If you want to be sure an ebook is compatible with your Kindle
look for the word "Kindle book" under available formats.
Let's begin by clicking
the "Borrow" button.

library in the box
or click on "View full list" to see a complete list of libraries.
