If you are using a Kindle App on an iPad or other iOS device, you will not be able to read any Kindle eBooks published by Penguin. However, you can read the ePub format of the Penguin eBook using the OverDrive Media Console and not the Kindle app.
You can easily identify a Penguin eBook for Kindle eReaders in the catalog. It has a description after the Kindle icon which reads: “Kindles and free Kindle apps via USB only“. In the title below, if you have an iPad select EPUB format and download it using the OverDrive Media Console for the iPad which can be downloaded for free from your app store.

When I try to send a library ebook to my Kindle, it’s grayed out. Why?

How do I get library eBooks on my Kindle DX? I tried using my Internet connection on the Kindle DX and the eBooks will not transfer.
The problem is your Kindle DX does NOT come with WiFi. It ONLY has 3G (check out this Kindle ereaders comparison chart a bit down the page). Library eBooks can not be transferred using 3G to your device. This is true for any eReader with 3G. You have to use a WiFi system (Libraries offer free WiFi as well as a variety of other local sites including Starbucks and McDonalds).
However, not all is lost! You can transfer Library eBooks to your Kindle DX using an USB cable and a computer.
