To download OverDrive audio titles, you will need to download OverDrive Media Console. OverDrive Media Console is available for…
Android v1.5 (or newer)
BlackBerry v4.5 (or newer)
iPhone OS v4.0 (or newer)
Mac OS v10.4.9 (or newer)
Windows 98 SE (or newer)
Windows Mobile 5 and 6

The Nassau Digital Doorway also has a Facebook page where you can find new information, book suggestions, and more.  Note: You must be logged into Facebook to access the page.

1. Use the Fire's web browser to go to the Nassau Digital Doorway website.
2. Search for Kindle compatible titles.  Kindle compatible titles are listed as "Kindle Book" and are for use on Kindles and free Kindle apps.  NOTE: If you would like to use EPUB titles on your Kindle Fire, refer to the section below regarding OverDrive Media Console on the Kindle Fire.
3. Add the Kindle book to your cart.  If the book is not available, you may place a request and you will be emailed when it becomes available.  You may up to 5 titles checked out at one time.
4. Once you have selected your titles, select Proceed to Checkout.  Select Oceanside Library from the drop down menu.  Next enter your 14-digit library barcode number.  Click Confirm Check Out.
5. Once you've checked out your title, choose Get for Kindle. You'll be redirected to Amazon.com's Public Library Loan page for that title. (You may be required to log in to your Amazon.com account -- or create a new account -- if you're not already logged in). Choose your device from the Deliver to menu, and choose Get library book to send the book to your reading app or device.
6. If the title does not appear on your device, go to the Wi-Fi icon in the navigation bar and tap "sync" after downloading from Overdrive.  The book should then show in the Books tab on the bookshelf.

Note: Public library books require an active Wi-Fi connection for wireless delivery to a Kindle device. Library books will not be delivered via your Kindle's 3G connection. If trying to send to a Kindle device and do not have an active Wi-Fi connection, you may instead choose to load your library book via USB. Both Mac and Windows users can manage Kindle content through a USB connection.  If your Kindle is not Wi-Fi capable or you do not have an active Wi-Fi connection, read Amazon's instructions for transferring files via USB.

Installing the OverDrive Media Console (OMC) on the Kindle Fire

The OverDrive Media Console (OMC) will also allow you to check out EPUB titles (not all eBooks are available in Kindle format) and download MP3 audiobooks to the Fire -- all from the Fire's mobile browser.

Here's how to get started: (Kindle Fire Software Version 6.2 ONLY)

You have to get the OMC app directly from OverDrive. Because the app is being obtained from somewhere other than the built in Amazon app store, you'll need to change an important setting (at least temporarily).

Allow Installations from Unknown Sources:

1. Tap the small "Settings" button in the upper-right corner of the Fire's touch screen. (It looks like a little cog.)
2. Tap "More."
3. Tap "Device."
4. Turn "on" the "Allow Installation of Applications From Unknown Sources." (The "on" should be in orange now.)

Visit the OverDrive Website:

Once there, select "Android" and look towards the bottom of the page to see the following link. 

 

1. Click on the link and start downloading the app. 
2. You'll notice a small "1" in the upper-left corner of your Fire's touch screen right next to [your name's] Fire. 
3. Tap on that "1" to see the app's progress downloading. 
4. Once it has finished downloading and installing, open the app.

Notes: 

1. To read EPUB eBooks you'll need to register for a free Adobe ID (Adobe.com) and authorize the OMC app with that email address and password. To find the Adobe registration area on the Fire, tap the small menu button at the bottom-center of the Fire's touch screen >> App Settings. 
2. You'll use the Fire's web browser to visit the Nassau Digital Doorway website, log into your account, checkout an EPUB eBook or MP3 audiobook. Tap the "Download" button once the title is checked out and the app will take over. 
3. You cannot use WMA audiobooks with the Kindle Fire because the WMA audiobooks have DRM (security) developed by Microsoft. The DRM requires Windows Media Player to unlock the security and that particular program is not on the Fire. 
4. The EPUB eBook will expire in 14 days. The title can be returned early from the app itself. 
5. The MP3 audiobooks expire in 7 days. The title will not be playable on the OMC app after 7 days. Audiobooks cannot be returned early. 

How to return the EPUB eBook early on the Fire's OverDrive Media Console: 

1. From the "Home" screen of the Fire's OMC app (the one where you see all of the titles listed...)
2. Tap and press on the title until a new menu pops up. 
3. Tap "Delete".
4. Tap "Return Then Delete". 
5. The title will be returned to the collection and your account is freed up for another eBook.
