Amazon Kindle "paper weight"

I got a free kindle Paperwhite from an acquaintance and I found out will not run adobe. The Open Archive Consortium (essentially the Library of Congress) has the book titles I want to read, but I cannot get downloaded to my Kindle. I can't believe threads are going back since 2012 on this issue. OverDrive is pathetic they have none of the titles I am looking for. Essentially the Kindle is useless to me. Craigslist or using the Paperwhite as a paper weight seem to be my only options.

Here are some of the titles I am trying to get (all unavailable on OverDrive):

Abrahams, Peter: A Perfect Crime

Abrahams, Peter: Lights Out

Abrahams, Peter: Pressure Drop

Abrahams, Peter: Revolution #9

Agee, James: A Death in the Family

Barker, Pat: Regeneration

Barker, Pat: The Eye in the Door

Barker, Pat: The Ghost Road
