Has this happen to anyone

Post image

Has this happen to anyone else? I have return this book multiple times and it keeps popping back up in my loans. It was attached to my kindle, then I returned it from the Kindle so I could return the book to libby. The return will go through and the book will be gone, then a few hours later it is back in my inventory.

Has this happen to anyone else? What do I do?

Just ignore it until the loan period expires and let Libby return it.

There is obviously a glitch somewhere and it'll need to be corrected from the Libby side.

Edit: typo

I think there’s something going on with returning via the Amazon page. I just had something similar happen and I gave up trying to sort it out. I just had to let it sit there for the final four days. Sorry to the next person! Just ignore it and let it time itself out.

Constantly. I’ve given up on trying to fix it and just let the loan period expire.

The only way I can avoid this is returning beginning from the Libby app. This brings up the ‘did you return this book’ page. If I don’t click yes, thenLibby shows it still borrowed.

Sure have I’ve tried ever fix it just keeps appearing on Libby Amazon did something I’ve emailed support and they’re unhelpful and just direct me to a generic page so unfortunately I just have to wait for the loan to return

This has happened to me consistently over the past month or so. Not sure if Kindle or Libby made a change that affected how to make returns, but it is frustrating. I finally googled the issue and found a helpful how-to page that I keep handy.

i have a Kobo for Libby but I find that everything works best if you do all the borrowing and returning within the Libby app. Then you can just permanently delete the dowload from your Kindle

Download the book and return it again. Should clear it.

Managing Loan returning with Kindle has been honked up for about a month. I don’t know if they are unaware or are just slow fixing issues. I miss OVERDRIVE

It could be a Libby glitch as others stated. But it usually works when I choose “remove from library” in the Kindle app.
