The menu structure is a big improvement
Still, no support for Chrome OS. A major reason why I haven't switched yet. |

OMC is getting to be a pretty decent ePub app.
One annoyance (at least the last time I tried it) is that despite the fact that you must authorize with an Adobe ID, you cannot side load DRM content (that is locked with the same Adobe ID). I've no idea why they would restrict it. Haven't tried sync yet. Wonder how that's implemented? One doesn't have an account with Overdrive, so they must be keying off the AdobeID and some info from the ePub file. |

You set up an OverDrive One account. Username, email, and password is all that's required. It's in the left side menu.

I checked out an MP3 audiobook and tested the sync feature with three devices -- Nexus 7 v2, Fire HD 7, and iPod touch 4 -- and it works nicely. The audiobook must be downloaded on all devices you wish to sync.
A bonus feature for iOS devices only is variable-speed playback -- .5x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x. Contrary to an earlier post I made, this upgrade will have a positive impact on me. I stand corrected. The audiobook sync is a great feature. |

It now also has the one thing I was really wanting, a sleep times for audio books. :-)

I'm glad I have Titanium Backup and can restore previous versions. I'm back to version 2.6.6 where the zoom still works when visiting the library site to borrow books. The font is so small that I can't use it without zooming. Does anyone else have this problem - the zoom not working?
