Borrowing eBooks From More than 1 Library

Hi,

I signed up to use the NYPL and also the Brooklyn Public Library
http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/
(Manhattan residents can get a card but must go by a Brooklyn branch to validate the card) for Overdrive ebooks (I also signed up for Florida's Alachua County Library
http://www.aclib.us/
--as a number of non-Fl posters here have--but I haven't tried to download anything there yet).

As I recall I had to register Adobe Digital Editions (?). Do I need to open ADE in a different user and reregister?

I may not have to: For now I successfully opened 4 Brooklyn epubs using the same Windows 7 User log in & ADE as I use for NYPL.

We'll see what the morrow brings--will they still work?

Couldn't find any posts about this here or on the web.

i use two libraries, and just have the one ADE......it does not make a whit of difference which library I download from.

Each library of course, has its own password and id to enter........after that its just a matter of 'download'........

This is absolutely correct. Trust Desert Grandma. The library only cares that you possess a registered copy of ADE, it doesn't care that you use that copy of ADE for other libraries.

You can hop back and forth from one library to another. I also use several libraries, all with one copy of ADE.

cheers
