Check out the Libby app in the Google play store. It uses overdrive but it’s much easier to use.

I detest Libby! I’ll definitely be sticking with OD until Libby gets their crap together.

What don’t you like, @Chrissy? I’m kind of new at both but have an easier time downloading with Libby.

@Becky it seems like there were navigating issues and I couldn’t find something that should have been easily accessible. I don’t remember specifics. I downloaded it about a month ago and was super frustrated with it.

I have both, but have been using overdrive longer so I’m more familiar with it

Similar to Overdrive. Links to your library. Offers less options, but no waiting

OK, so … I’m a new Overdrive user myself. First book I downloaded from the library, it opened full screen. I left it open for the first few days and then had to do a restart of my laptop (Mac), and never could get full screen again. Is full screen normal or not? If normal, can anyone tell me how to get it to open that way?

Libby keeps “forgetting my libraries”. It’s a pain since I have quite a few.

And I’m just the opposite. As long as we both love reading, that’s all that matters. ?

Woo hoo! I regularly email my library to request they purchase new releases when I don’t see the downloadable audio format available on their website. It’s great.

Try using Hoopla with overdrive that’s where I get many not available from my library

I use Overdrive, Hoopla, Axis, and RBClick. I’ve found that sometimes the newest books aren’t available when they’re first released.

I haven’t used the others, just overdrive and Hoopla
