Unfortunately, all other Kindles run on Amazon software that is incompatible with the services provided by Overdrive, our third party provider, at present.

What is OverDrive Read and how do I use it?

 

OverDrive Read is a new in-browser ebook reader.

It works just like any ebook reading app, except you don’t need to activate or install extra software.

Unfortunately only 50% of the books in Read Liverpool can be read using OverDrive Read as not all publishers have agreed to make their books compatible with this software. This may change in the future.
