Overdrive & PDF Library Books
I read library books via the Overdrive app on my Android phone, but I can't seem to figure out how to read the library books that come in PDF format. I just get an error indicating that they're not available for my mobile device. Next step--I download the ebooks to my computer, load them on my phone and try to open them with Aldiko. No luck--get an error implying that it's a DRM issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks! |

Are you using ADE to transfer them to Aldiko? That worked when I tested it months ago, however Aldiko isn't very useful for reading PDF's (unless they've changed something).
Have you activated/registered Aldiko with your Adobe ID? Last edited by AnemicOak; 05-13-2011 at 11:37 AM. |

You'll need the "official" Adobe Reader for those. Does it even exist for your mobile?

There are two ways I know of to transfer the DRM'd books to Aldiko. The first, as described above, is to hook your device up via USB and it will appear in ADE so you can drag & drop your books. The other way is described on the Aldiko website... Quote:
All that said Aldiko doesn't reflow nor allow zooming of PDF files so is often not great for viewing them (unless there's been an update since Feb. when I tested it). |

Ha! Maybe that's it. I'm just transferring the files--not via ADE. I'll give that a shot.
Thanks. |
