You may have seen some of the news coverage and online buzz about libraries offering Kindle-compatible eBooks through the OverDrive service. Kindle-compatible eBooks for libraries are a new service that just launched yesterday (September 21) in the U.S. only.

Unfortunately, Kindle-compatible eBooks are not yet an option for Canadian libraries.

Toronto Public Library will continue to monitor developments in this area. In the meantime, the EPUB eBooks available through our OverDrive service are compatible with a range of eReaders, tablets, and smartphones, including:

  • Kobo
  • Sony Reader
  • iPad
  • iPhone
  • Blackberry
  • Samsung Galaxy
  • Motorola Xoom

See the complete list of compatible devices on OverDrive’s site.
