Using Libby & Airplane Mode on Kindle

My favorite Libby hack is getting a Libby book on my Kindle and then putting my Kindle on airplane mode. You can then return the book to the library so the next person in line can use it, and you have the book on your Kindle until you reconnect it to Wi-Fi. No sprint to finish your book in 21 days. If you’re a real pro, you can get multiple books from the library at the same time so you have a few options to choose from before putting your Kindle on airplane mode.

Yes! This is the best “cheat” that doesn’t even feel like cheating.

“I always have a fully charged Kindle with multiple books downloaded before I go on a trip. Use Libby to get some from your library! This way if I’m stuck sitting and waiting - I have plenty of books to read. (That is if my 4 year old will let me. 😅)”

“Painful to rec an Amazon product but this was the MVP of my fire year. When you lose your books and don't have space to lug or put new ones, Kindle is lord. I made a whole substack about it (in the "visit" link).”
