Personally, I would use the OverDrive Link plugin for calibre, which can search for and save a list of available and recommendable OverDrive books in any number of configured libraries, and supports Freading and 3M library as well. It is basically my default way of communicating with OverDrive.
Once it's set up, you can bind the search to a shortcut key and just periodically run it against all the books in calibre, it will run in the background and you get a cached list, aggregated amongst all the libraries you have access to. |

Re: OverDrive Link plugin

I search for books, and if they aren't in calibre, that probably means I will want to borrow it. Once I borrow it, I ignore/add to calibre as empty book record, so it doesn't confuse my later searches. (Do not "Discard" the result, or next time it will come back and you may not realize you already got it.) Every time you add more books to calibre, your search range expands. Add empty book records for authors you don't own at all yet. You can also search for keywords. (This option only appears if you added keywords in the plugin configuration.) |
