An update on OverDrive and Kindle eBooks

Earlier this week, we became aware that a number of eBooks added to our catalog this year were lacking the Kindle format.  This has now been resolved, and the Kindle format of the affected titles is now available in OverDrive’s Marketplace.  All U.S. libraries’ digital collections will be automatically refreshed with the Kindle format for any titles they have purchased that may not have had the format at the time of purchase.

As always, we will continue to add daily to our world leading catalog of over 2.6 million titles with all available formats.  We look forward to continuing as the only provider of Kindle format eBooks for our U.S. library and school partners.

We thank all of you for reaching out.  Please enjoy borrowing Kindle eBooks from your library’s OverDrive-powered digital collection.

    Has Amazon communicated to Overdrive that there will be limits or changes to library availability of Kindle format e-books?

      Hi Allison- There has not been any change. The absent titles were due to a technical error which has been corrected and the availability of these titles has been restored. We will continue to get new titles in Kindle format moving forward.
