Effective February 10, 2012, Penguin will no longer offer additional copies of eBooks and downloadable audiobooks for library purchase. Additionally, Penguin eBooks loaned for reading on Kindle devices will need to be downloaded to a computer then transferred to the device over USB. For library patrons, this means Penguin eBooks will no longer be available for over-the-air delivery to Kindle devices or to Kindle apps.

Overdrive eBook users: with the addition of the Kindle eBook format, please be aware that non-Kindle users should select the EPUB format option.
