  • 15. Amazon Kindle Note that some publishers restrict eBook downloads so that they cannot be delivered wirelessly to a Kindle. These titles may be transferred to your Kindle via USB. If you have checked out an eBook from one of these publishers, you’ll see a warning like this:

  • 18. Amazon Kindle Click Yes.

General Information You may check out up to 6 eBooks per library card. Because eBooks are returned automatically at the end of the loan period, it is impossible to accrue overdue fines. eBooks not owned by Waukegan Public Library cannot be obtained through interlibrary loan. You may suggest an eBook purchase on the library’s website or by speaking with a librarian. Only patrons with Waukegan Public Library cards may download eBooks. If the title you want is checked out, you may place a hold on it, just like a physical library book. eBooks have a limit of one renewal per title.
