How do I return an e-book?
I have an e-book that I'm finished reading before the due date, how can I return it for the next person in line?
Answer
While it's not necessary to return e-books (they'll automatically expire, and fines are never charged), it certainly helps others if you take the time to do so.
Here’s NYPL staffer Carrie McBride's guide on how to return e-books and audiobooks:

Additional instructions for returning Kindle e-books are posted here (basically you can return via your Kindle, or through Amazon's website):

In SimplyE, to return a title early, go to your list of checkouts, click on the title or cover of the book to open up the description, and select "Return".
Not all e-books can be returned.
