Anna Begins Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm just curious, if I pay for a pre-order, how does Amazon notify you when they send the book to you when it comes out? And for Library users: Also, does the library tell you how long you have the book when you download a book? And the books go right to the Kindle? How often do you use the library?

bobblybear Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've pre-ordered Kindle books before; basically on the day of release (probably even shortly after midnight) if you turn your wi-fi on, the book will download to your Kindle.

julie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 As for using the library to get Kindle books, I just click on the title I want and it takes me to the Amazon page and you click on Borrow Book instead of Buy Book . It loads just like when you buy it . If you go to your Manage your Kindle page, it'll show up on your list, but say Borrowed in orange print . We can keep ours for 3 weeks, not sure if all libraries have the same amount of time or not . At the end of that time, it will be a dead link ,so you'd have to check it out again or renew it if you still want it longer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I must admit, I often forget I've pre-ordered a Kindle book in Amazon, and the first I know of it is when the email appears in my inbox to tell me I've purchased something new. I then just switch the network on and it downloads immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wow- that all helps- thanks! I'm on the waiting list for my first library book- Harry Potter. I'm not sure I will like it, but I'm going to give it a go. Also ordered my first pre-owned 12 Years a Slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
