There are 3 ways you can request a Kindle copy of an e-book. Read on below ....

  1. By asking to see a print copy of our complete Kindle title lists at the Ford Library circulation desk, and selecting a title from the list.
  2. By browsing the Kindle Collection title lists on our web site at https://library.fuqua.duke.edu/resources/kindles.htm. At the bottom of each PDF list of titles, you can click a link to reserve (place a "hold" on) a Kindle containing the title you want from that list.
  3. By clicking a featured Kindle title cover image on our Kindle Collection page. This will launch a pre-filled email you can send us to reserve a Kindle containing the title you selected.

If you requested a Kindle using #2 or #3 above, you'll be notified by email when the Kindle is available to pick up at our service desk.
