Can stuff be downloaded to a kindle from the e-book groups?

Yes, indirectly, through your computer and a USB cable, or uploaded to
Amazon for a small fee.

Here are some links you might find useful:

Thanks, Wayne. Good to know in case the library runs out of e-books.

Um, how does a library "run out of e-books"???

They only have so many licenses for a book. You check out E-books just
like regular books as far as the copyright holder is concerned..

But they don't run out. Someone returns, another gets it. Just like a
real book.

Perhaps he wants a new book, not something he has already read or
something he has no interest in. I know the e-reader people I know
complain the library E book selection is limited and the "good" books
are on a waiting list. If you are one of those people who want to read
the best sellers, they really want you to buy it

I'm finding that to be very true of ebooks in the Fairfax County system. Most often the book I want
isn't available, but there is a link to "BUY BOOK". Haven't clicked it yet, but I'm thinking it's
Amazon.
