Trouble in my ebook

Hello,
I am a new member and have a question. When I download several books at once from my local library, sometimes they work and sometimes they do not download and then sometimes they disappear the next day. Does anyone else have those problems?
Otherwise, I love my newest travel companion.

Hi Linda, welcome to MR!

Sorry I'm not able to help with your problem, but we have lots of people around here who will be able to. If you don't get an answer here in "Introduce Yourself", try one of the more technical forums. Maybe the one for your device--what kind of reader do you have?

Hi Linda and welcome to MobileRead. I've downloaded numerous ooks from my local library (Fairfax, VA) and never had a problem. Is your library using Overdrive?

Welcome to MobileRead, Linda!

I've never downloaded books from my library but I know that cassidym is almost a guru with that. I am sure he can help you through it. Good luck.

Happy Reading.

So I bet you never call your librarian a monkey. Remember folks - orangutans are apes, not monkeys.

Oh - and welcome to Mobileread, Linda. Please forgive my uncontrollable urge to make Terry Pratchett/Librarian jokes.

As for your library books. I'd suggest giving a little more detail on the software you use and the format of the ebooks you're download.

But off-hand, I'd say try downloading just one at a time as a work-around.
