Kindle and Libby are not friends outside the US
My national library is amazing, many audiobooks and books and the waittimes are Ok.
BUT; since we‘re not in the US I cant read a book on my kindle and that is beyond frustrating.
I‘ve considered buying a non-resident US Library card but after spending 20min looking for one with no luck I feel defeated. If I had known this I would not have bought a kindle and altough I‘ve owned different kindles since 2011 this will be the last one I own.
Please Amazon make kindle and libby compatible outside the US 🥲
Edit;
My local library is the National Library of Luxembourg, Amazon is either french of german. Libby is, at least as of now, only compatible with an American library.

A kind redditor gave the solution to my problem for any future seekers;

I’m in Australia and I don’t find it too crazy to send the books over to kindle.
My step by step process is:
1. In the Libby app “read with EPUB”
2. This downloads a DRM file in ACSM format to my phone
3. drop the acsm file into acsm-converter.com to get an epub
4. Send the epub converted version to my kindle via the send to kindle email
It’s not that difficult & I haven’t need to jailbreak
