Anyone here use Overdrive for ebooks and audiobooks from the library?
Yeah, I do. Love it!
Sure. It’s great. Especially if you’re allergic to paper and ink.
Yes I love it, I often find the waiting list for books is a lot less. Of course, not always new books available.
The waiting list is ridiculous for some books. If your library is part of a county system allll the members in the county go on hold for the same one copy of the book.
I was a nice librarian and always took a look at the wait lists and would order an extra copy for my branch card holders only. So let’s say there were 100 holds on 1 county shared copy and 12 of those patrons were mine? I’d order a copy for us only and then it would be 12 holds on 1. That’s why it always says to login so you can see what other copies are available.
I don’t work in the libraries anymore (allergic to paper/ink) and my local library is the pits at overdrive ordering. They don’t always buy books we click recommend on ?. If I care
Enough about it I’ll email and then it will eventually get ordered.
Yes. I put hold
On the first Harry Potter audio book. I’m in like 96th place for
It. !
@Amanda on ONE copy?! For HP? Ridiculous. They should have more than one for a title like that.
Here are like 4 copy’s available.
I read most of my books this way.
I do. I just started using it. I feel like its going to save me lots of money
Mine just has ebooks. For audiobooks my library uses Hoopla.
Love Hoopla also.
I use overdrive. Sometimes it easier than getting what I need from my library itself. I am definitely a mix medium user. Though, most of what I’ll be reading this month are ebooks.
Yea wouldn’t load my netgalley stuff right so I use Dropbox/blue reader for that.
I do
Overdrive 3m cloud library and hoopla ..I start with one and work my way through when it’s not there lol
I switch between axis 360 and overdrive as sometimes the wait times are less on one app than the other or one app has a book that the other one doesn’t have. But overdrive is a better app, axis 360 is a little buggy
I do
Yes, but only for audiobook.
Love it!
