Getting Libby books on kindle

I've downloaded the Libby app and I'm trying to work out how to get Libby books on my kindle.
When I tap on one of my books and "manage loan" and "read with" I only have 2 options - Libby and Epub. Kindle is not one of the options. Just wondered if anyone could help. Thanks

What have you downloaded the Libby app to?
Do you have an actual Kindle eBook reader (like a Paperwhite) or is it an Amazon Fire tablet?
Simple answer is that you can't.
Real answer is that you can but it takes a number of steps and involves downloading the book as EPUB to a device that has Adobe Digital Editions installed and registered and then transferring the book to the Kindle via another program that removes Digital Rights Management from the file.*
Another way is to use US Libby and connect to a US Library to borrow books - in the US version there's an Add to Kindle button. It doesn't work with UK libraries. Doable but quite hard to do for free.
Or buy a Kobo ebook reader, they can connect and download books from your library.
* doing this is, of course, a breach of copyright and is the equivalent of stealing a physical book from your library.0 -

And no, Libby can't be loaded on to a Kindle, nor can ADE.0 -
Thanks for your replies.
I'm not going to bother with it - It's too much of a faff0
