How to return a Kindle Book borrowed from your library
Borrowed Kindle Books are automatically returned to your library at the end of their lending periods.
If you'd like to return a Kindle Book before your lending period ends, you can return it from your library's digital collection, or use these steps to return it from Amazon:
- On Amazon's website, go to your "Content & Devices" page, then select Books.
- Find the title, then select Return this book.
- Select Return this book to confirm.
The returned Kindle Book may still appear on your Kindle device or reading app, but you won't be able to open it. Follow these steps to fully remove the title from your device.
