@Dylancanread but how do I listen to an audiobook that I check out on Libby with my Kindle ? I can make it work for reading books, but can't figure out Audiobooks from Libby to listen on my Kindle
Be sure to use notifications on Libby. When a book is ready to check out you have a shortish window of time to actually make the checkout before the material is offered to the next person on the list and you get bumped down the line. Also, be a good person and use the return early button when you finish the book so others in line get the material without having to wait for your borrow to expire.
Great tip!
agree 1000%
Wow. Never thought about that. My notifications were off. I generally dislike distractions, so most of my notifications are off. But for Libby I should def keep them on.
I do the airplane mode thing literally all the time! I put it on airplane mode and then I immediately return the book to my library and the next person can get it right away! My mom and I tried it on a book that only had one copy available and she was the only person waiting for it😂she was able to get the book after I returned it even though it was still on my kindle and not checked out to me anymore. Also as a side note, a lot of times the kindle gets confused and you end up being able to keep the book forever which is a perk lmao
That is really good to know! Definitely alleviates my conscience 😆
@@dylancanread I actually feel like I’m doing a good deed when I do it because the next person gets their book sooner then if I were to take the whole 21 days😂
You put your kindle on airplane mode?
Does this work on every book? By this I mean, if I want another book to be imported into my kindle, I’ll have to reconnect my WiFi, but I also don’t want the books to be automatically deleted from my downloads. So I can keep every book I borrowed if I turn my kindle on airplane mode?
A tip for my fellow bookworms: there are several libraries that offer free digital library cards even to non-residents. You can have multiple library cards in your libby account. This should cut down on having to wait for holds or finding books that aren't offered by your local library.
True!
@@dylancanread I hadn't noticed you'd made a video already about such a thing. In fact, you may have been the one to let me know about it in the first place. Thanks!
Could you give tips on a couple of such libraries?
@@dylancanread so what are these other libraries??
@@leticiatoraci9855 I personally scoured the internet applying for library cards and successfully have these, enjoy 😎📚

I used this for the first time yesterday with an audio book as I was traveling. LOVED IT!!!!!!
I’m glad you were able to take advantage of Libby! It’s such a cool little app 😁
Libby: You can read most books with Kindle (available in the U.S. only)
I would just like to mention, not all books on Libby are able to be read on the kindle. You have to look at the books information and under where it says ‘supports’ make sure it says kindle. I have ran into this with some books I have wanted to read. But I still love Libby. One of the greatest apps there is.
That’s a good point, I appreciate you mentioning that!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Hey Marcus .. so I see where it shows it’s supported with kindle in the formats but still just lets me only open the book in Libby to read just in my phone.. any ideas ? Am I missing a step maybe ?
Just found the issue .. it is under ‘’manage loan’’ you hit that and then you can select ‘’read with’’ and select kindle
@@paulg2100 after the book downloads you should have two options, open with kindle and open with Libby. Choose the kindle option and it will take you to Amazon page where you will have to log in and then click that you want to borrow the book it will then send it to your kindle. I hope this helps. If you have any trouble maybe check out Libby’s website or even ask a librarian at your local library. I know my local library does classes on how to use Libby. I hope this helps Paul.
You don't need a Kindle to read Kindle eBooks. Every device has a Kindle app.
I’ve had Libby for 2 years however didn’t know you could change the length of time to check out, I immediately checked my app but unfortunately my library must limit it to a max of 2 weeks. Also, I use the airplane mode trick on basically every book I get because I don’t read that fast, never thought that it might hold up the next person in line, will have to think that one over. Some books I had for so long before I turned the Wi-Fi back on, the library must have forgotten that it needed to return it and it stays on my kindle forever 😬
haha I think I have done the same thing before!
I LOVE the link between Libby and my Kindle (and my kids' Kindles) for e-books. Maybe I missed it, but how do I listen to audiobooks from Libby on my Kindle?
Not available in UK 🇬🇧 yet but hopefully in future.. learnt a few things from video about Libby app though, thanks 🙏
Hey Phil, hopefully in the future! Thank you for watching. I’m glad the video was still somewhat useful 😁
it’s now available in the uk !
For some reason the “Read with” option does not show up for me. When I click borrow it only says “open book”.
Some books don’t have a kindle edition
same for me but i clicked the book then the little share box and shared to to my kindle app!
I love Libby! I’ve been using it for years to listen to audiobooks on my phone. I bought a Kindle this year and am happy to expand my Libby use.
I hope you’re loving your kindle! 😁
I love Libby. I’ve used it for years. It’s my most used app ever. Not just for ebooks I also use it for audiobooks
My Libby does not provide the “read with” option. Are there different Libby apps?
Unfortunately the Kindle integration is not available here in Canada 😂
Oh no! Hopefully one day that feature will be made available!
Same here in the UK.
Same in germany
same in Taiwan
Libby is the bomb. To read 200 plus books last year.
That is impressive!! And agreed, Libby is the best!
As a Kindle and Libby newbie. this is likely a dumb question. But why is there a wait time at the library? I understand that the library has a limited amount of physical books but why would that be the case with digital books? the very nature of that media would seem that they should have an unlimited supply.
You would think so! However, since the library doesn’t own the rights to the ebook, I assume that is why they treat ebooks like they treat physical books. In other words, since the library (I assume) has to purchase the ebook from the publisher, they limit the number they purchase based on budget and demand. At least I would think so.
Great question! 😁
I think they are limited by the number of physical copies, one digital per physical copy.
might be helpful to mention "US only" in the video title
Great tips! Thank you!! I didn’t even know I could adjust the 14 day due date.
I just got a kindle for Christmas this video gives me ideas used for my kindle and thank you for help
Glad I could help!
there's no "read with.." option for any ebook and I've been doing this for weeks and I almost destroyed my laptop I'm so mad I just want to read from my kindle!!! HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND LIBBY!!!!
Yay!! So excited to share this video with my Facebook group! Thank you for taking the suggestion and making a great tutorial! I had no idea you could change the check out time.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope the video will be helpful to them! 😁
I didn’t know about changing the check out times either and I have been using Libby for over 10 years. I’m subscribing because of this tip!
@@DoubleA-ou7pj you won’t regret it! I’ve learned a lot from Dylan and he has a great community here. Welcome fellow Book Worm!
Over 10 years?! Dang, I've been missing out! @DoubleA-ou7pj
Mine doesn’t have this option.😢 how do i get this option? In the read with, it only have “EPUB, PDF, MEDIA DO” Send helpppp😅
Lol I’m pure I’m clean 😂😂😂 excellent video my friend 😊
🤣
Thank you, Danielle! 😊
Unfortunately this is country dependent. For example, in Germany Libby does not offer Kindle as a reading option and there’s no way to read Libby books on anything other than the app itself.
That’s true! I think it’s a US-only thing right now, but hopefully that will change one day!
I have kindle but for my country library, no option to read on kindle. It is best to use Kobo e reader if you want to borrow from library. Use Overdrive to transfer it.
anyone watching this today, my pin was my password for the portal used to make my library account so it might not be numbers!
Very informative. I use Libby a lot . It’s great to be able to press a button, and Wa-La ! A book is on your Kindle within the blink of an eye. I like the extra little doodads , like the “ flower 🌸 rainfall “ that happens when you return a book , and also being able to change the colors of your library cards. Quite a nifty little app. The only thing I’d like it to have is maybe star ratings on the books from other users. That way you’d see how popular it is, but maybe the library doesn’t want to influence people by rating the books ? Thanks.
In The US not the rest of the world .
Buy a kobo and do it directly from your reader .
Interesting! I didn’t know the kobo allowed that.
@@dylancanread not in the US from what I’ve been told but most other countries it does .
When explaining Libby, why does everyone assume that it is already set up? That's like, "Here's how to make a million dollars. First, put a million dollars in the bank."
What about notes and highlights, will these disappear if the borrowing time ended?
Great question! You can keep your notes/highlights if you export them before your loan expires. Additionally, if you decide to borrow the same book again at a later date, your notes/highlights will appear with it.
However, you are not able to access your notes/highlights on your kindle once your loan has expired.
Can someone explain to me why books aren’t available all the time if it’s just being read over the phone?
This is the great irony of the e-book era. Essentially, the publishers want people to wait, so that more people will simply buy the book. There is no reason why every person waiting on a title shouldn’t have access immediately. It doesn’t cost more to provide instant access. Corporate greed in a capitalist society.
So what I’m confused on is …. When I borrow a book I don’t get an option to “read with’’. Just says open in Libby.. even though the book I’m borrowing says it’s supported with kindle ..
That’s strange! 🤔 I’m not sure what the problem might be.
same
How come my Libby (iPhone app, or on Windows) does not give me the option of reading it from Kindle or Libby, only: Open on Libby?
Video was much appreciated, thank you! New sub good luck with you channel :)
Thank you much! I’m glad the video was helpful 😁
Las Vegas Clark County card is NOT usable on ebooks or eAudiobooks
Thanks for the info & also for the hack (disclaimer) smart to cover your butt, ❤
Do you know if Libby can be added to a Kindle Kids Paperwhite?
Hello can I access any library from a distance, not living in that country. Btw I'm from India and hardly any digital library is present here
Thank you so much! This the 4th video that I clicked on to try and figure out how to download books from Libby, to my kindle. You’re the first person to actually show me how to do it. Everyone else only talked about doing it. Great video. Very succinct! Very helpful!
I’m in Canada and my Libby app doesn’t give me the option to read with Kindle, anyone know why this is and how to fix?
Last four of my phone number as well. Seems to be standard--and I'm on the west coast (for reference).
How do I transfer my books to a kindle paperwhite? I'm having a very difficult time figuring this out. Tia
Thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting to link Libby to my Kindle and this was just so straight forward! New subscriber!
Thank you so much for subscribing and watching! 😁
Was pretty excited to do this with my new kindle, then after getting frustrated at numerous attempts I realised that it is not available to do in Australia. Wtf
Some say it will stay forever but some say it won’t so will it stay there ?
Is there a way to limit your search for audiobooks only? Or other filters? Thanks!
OverDrive is a different app, they are merging at the beginning of next year. Does Libby let you request books they don’t have?
Interesting! I done believe Libby allows that. If it does, I haven’t found that option yet!
Prince William library card is only good for 30 days
I really wish i could own a Kindle e reader. I hope you could sponsor me one sir 😭
You didn't use kindle to download libby, you used your phone.
how do i fix the issue of the book being on my kindle app but not on my kindle
Dylan great job on the video, I've been using Libby for two months I love I can rent out books right through my phone, its been very helpful for reading novels and language studies! Totally sharing this video friends that are using the library.
Thank you so much! :) And I'm so glad you're enjoying Libby! It's amazing!
does it have wordwise like the ebook from amazon?
Can you use Libby on your computer?
I love The Four Winds! I listened to it in audiobook on Libby.
Such a good read!
Many thanks for all the clear and practical advice in this outstanding video. You have really helped me to take better advantage of our libraries' educational resources. Best!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Looks like not available in the uk. Kinda lame.
Any suggestions to access books in Portuguese? I search in Libby app but there are no available libraries in my country.
Hmm.. unfortunately I don’t! I’m sorry!
This channel will be big one day 🙏🏻♥️ keep going , your amazing in explaing things ,entertaining and cool ...
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it!
Great video!! Thanks😊🙏🏻
Thank you! 😊
I just picked up a 2022 Kindle basic to try for a couple trips. I have coming up. Looking online. Found your show. This is a great tip. I already grabbed a few library books by using this thanks and keep up the good shows.
Thank you so much! 😁 I hope you’re loving your new kindle!
@@dylancanread Wow. FIrst trip on the kindle. LOVE IT! 3 days, 1 1/2 books, very little tv, back to reading.
This only works if your library is using the libby app. Mine, unfortunately, is not.
You can pay a small fee for non-resident library cards, in cities in which you do not live! Bigger libraries, less wait times!
This was so helpful! Thank you!!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! :)
Just fyi anything iPhone can do Android can do better!! 🤣🤣
Except seri she's pretty awesome but that's about it when it comes to iPhone
I just bought a paperwhite 6.8" signed into Libby, chose 2 books, clicked Kindle and it does not download to either my Amazon acct or the Paperwhite. I tried airplane mode and bluetooth both on and off and nope, doesn't work. checked also my wifi and it's the same. Frustrated.
So, I have the Libby app on my phone. I tell it I want to read on my Kindle. My Amazon account recognizes the Kindle, but I can't seem to get the book to my Kindle. When I tell the Libby app I want to read it on my Kindle, it doesn't ever open my Amazon account. So very frustrating.
Great video, very straightforward and informative! Keep it up
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
i did this but when i tapped on the book it just says queued and will never open. do you know how to fix it?
Hmm… that’s strange. Are you located in the US?
Hey Dylan! How are you? I was already logged in, so I didn’t have to log in. I’m having a hard time getting the book on my kindle. I don’t see “get library book”. It just says this library book has been claimed. Any idea what to do here? Thank you so much 🙏🏼
HELP: Libby is sending Audiobooks. I want book sent to Kindle to read. I don't see button to choose READ with
My app only has “open in Libby” as the single option. Any ideas how to get kindle as an option ? EDIT: ok turns out it’s only available in USA (sigh)
How come there are only 38K books in the Libby library, typical average library holds 100,000 books? I wanted to read an older book, not on the Libby app.
Are you american? Cause I tried to use this technique with my Canadian membership to Libby and it didn't work!
Didn’t work for me.
I found out the airplane mode hack accidentally lol. I always keep my kindle in airplane mode when I'm not downloading stuff, and my borrowed ebooks sit there indefinitely, until I turn airplane mode off.
I still miss overdrive. It was easier to search. Not only could you make the book background dark but the app as well. You could also make the search screen larger text.
Description reads: Onedrive. Should that be Overdrive?
why would there be a wait and loan limit for a digital book? 😂
Haha yeah it sounds weird, but I guess libraries purchase the ebooks and then loan them out like they would physical books.
Can I use libby in Italy?
My library sent me my barcode and PIN and told me that it was the last 4 of the barcode but it wasn't! I was so confused until I watched the part of your video that said it was the last 4 of your phone number and it worked! Thanks for the tip. :)
read with Kindle isn't an option for me :( Other ways to read: Only EPUB
Great video 🙂 my mind was blown at 7:55 🙃 very happy i can use the library on my kindle without having to go there 😄 …. 8:48
not for Portugal.
This only works in the US. it does not work for Canadian Libraries.
Why is Canada garbage. No option to reas with kindle. Not happy.
Goddam bro, i live in country that people dont like read a book. So there is no near or even close library in here. Very unfortunately
Thanks. San Jose worked for me on 9/29/23. I do live in CA but not near there. :P
I’m currently using San Jose now and just checked out 2 audiobooks and I’m a whole time zone away lol.
They sent me a digital card but when I tried to check out from SJPL, was told I had to live in Cali 😮😢
@@kimberlygould5659 thanks just did this !
Appreciate this thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad the video was helpful 😁
I live in Florida and neither of my libraries are on there
Oh no! Hopefully your county will participate soon 😁
Is this legal?
Yes!
What do I do if the option for Read With Kindle doesn't show up? ☹️
why do u have to wait for the book if it’s online tho
The library only has so many digital "copies" so only one person can have it rented out at a time.
Nice explanation. Thank you!
Hi, I don’t have the Read With option from Libby app. Only have Open in Libby … do you know why?
That’s strange! Are you located in the US?
@@dylancanread No, I am in Hong Kong. Could be a reason.
@@dannyyiuwing ahh, yes that may be the issue. Unfortunately this isn’t available in every country.
Same here in canada
why there is no read with on my libby app? :(
4:16 Your card number is showing
Helpful info...Thanks Dylan!
Thanks for watching, Mike!
It only says open book, it doesnt say read with.
