And the stupid pop-up box asking you to confirm, covers up the selection you just made, so you can't see it to make sure you selected the right thing.... My local library gave me the Facebook address for Overdrive, which they tell me is the best way to make comments to Overdrive. I don't have a facebook account, but I'm sure many people on this site do, so here's the address in case you haven't already found it: http://www.facebook.com/OverDriveForLibraries |

Niiiice! You don't need to connect to a computer at all?! Can you browse from your tablet, then send to the Sony reader or do you have to browse the library form the reader? Can someone confirm that with other ePub readers like the Nook and Kobo, this is also possible/ not possible? |

Or you can use the Sony to browse the library and download directly. There are some nice helpful people in the Sony forum if you want to get more info and opinions. |

The 50 book thing on the wishlist appears to have been fixed at my local library at least.

Bah! R.E.A.D.S just switched over an hour ago! I hate it. They've remove the cart completely before I had an hour to decide while browsing which books to check out and now it's immediate. This sucks and all the browsing just to get to a genre and then it's no longer listed by added to site but relevancy. DO NOT LIKE!!

Blossom, do you have the little drop down arrow on the left to change it to added to site or published date?

The new site is awful!!
I checked out an audiobook in wma format and it says This device does not support this format. What device, my computer? It shows that for all the wma's on my bookshelf but it shows a download button for the mp3s. Is it no longer using the Overdrive Media Console to download? This is too confusing...... |

I agree! The other design was simple, easy to use, I won't go so far as to say elegent! This is a Rube Goldberg design! Who designed this mess?

They must have been working on it because the download button finally showed up.
But what a horrible site design. I've seen pirate book sites with better presentation, especially the cover thumbnails. |

Hi. I just joined to post about using Overdrive with my Android phone. I have been using it for about a year, with very few problems. During the last few days though, I have received errors about half the time when I try and download a book. And last night I checked in and deleted a book, and it is still showing up. SO today I decided to reinstall the app. I deleted the old app and downloaded it again. MISTAKE! I wish I had read this thread first.
With the new install I don't have any libraries listed and I can't get the screen to load where you pick a library. I have used the "contact us" on the overdrive site, but haven't received a reply yet. I should of known they were "improving" things! grrrr!!! |
