MyMediaMall now available for Kindles

As promised a few months ago, MyMediaMall is now compatible with the Amazon Kindle or with the Kindle apps for Apple or Android devices. I checked out a couple of books and it was amazingly easy.

If you have a Kindle or Kindle app on your smartphone, here's what you do: Go to the Morton Grove Public Library website and scroll down the page to the MyMedia Mall icon and click on that icon.

At the top right of the page, click Sign In. You will select Morton Grove Public Library and enter your library barcode (with no spaces). Now click on the image of the Kindle (see above left) and find a book that you are interested in checking out. To limit your choices to only those titles that are currently available, click on the box labeled "Show only titles with copies available" and click Submit (see right).

You make your selection and check-out the books as usual. Once you have checked-out the book, you will see a button labeled "Get for Kindle", click that button and it will take you to Amazon where you will find an image of the book you checked-out with a yellow button to the right that says "Get library book". Clicking that button will take you to your Amazon sign-in page and when you sign in, you will see a button that gives you a choice of which Kindle device to send the book. If you do not see the title added immediately to your device, go to Manage Your Kindle and you should see the title listed with a yellow notation stating "public library." Click on the Actions button and select the "Deliver to my" link and choose your device. It should begin downloading to your device immediately.
