MyMediaMall
Download eBooks and audiobooks to your computer or compatible device using MyMediaMall. Transfer them to your smartphone, eReader, or MP3 player at home, in the office, or from anywhere in the world. Now your library never closes!

To download an eBook or audiobook, you must have a Bloomingdale Public Library card and a personal computer/laptop or compatible smartphone/tablet to install the related software or app. To get started, check My Help or the Library's Help Guides, which provide a step-by-step overview of the MyMediaMall service for various devices.

Compatible Devices
If you are considering purchasing an audio player or eBook reader, please see Overdrive's list of compatible devices.

For additional help, please check the following device help sites:

Kindle
Library eBooks are compatible with any generation Kindle device, the free Kindle app (available on mobile devices or computers), or in your browser with Kindle Cloud Reader. Search the list of Kindle titles available through MyMediaMall.

Due to recent changes in the agreement with the publisher Penguin Group, Kindle users that download Penguin titles from MyMediaMall will not have the option of transferring titles wirelessly. Users will have to connect their Kindle to a computer and manually transfer the file over via USB. Amazon’s transfer page provides step by step instructions.

Can't find your library eBook on your new Kindle Fire tablet? Tap the Quick Settings icon (cog shaped icon in upper right corner) from the Home screen, and then tap the Sync icon. The book should now appear on your bookshelf.

Nook
Library eBooks are compatible with any generation Nook device. Search the list of EPUB and PDF titles available through MyMediaMall.

Sony Reader
Library eBooks are compatible with various Sony Readers. Please search Overdrive's list of compatible devices to see if your Sony Reader is compatible. Search the list of EPUB and PDF titles available through MyMediaMall.

Up to 6 computers/devices can be activated using the same Adobe ID. If you've reached this limit, you will have to contact Adobe customer support to deactivate a previous device
