I put the books on a micro SD card but when I go through the steps to import them on the Vox I get the same error over and over saying "Something went wrong"

Another user suggested Overdrive but the Overdrive library files are audio.
I borrow books from the BC Online Library. I was able to download the Overdrive app, which I am successfully using to read my borrowed epubs that I downloaded from the BC Online Library via WiFi straight onto my Vox. The Overdrive app plays epub and mp3 (unfortunately, no WMA - which most of the audiobooks are).

I do enjoy the app to read - the books look just as good as they do on my Kobo WiFi (where I sideload them from ADE).

It has been a bit of an adjustment for me to read on a backlit screen, but if I set the brightness really low, it's good!
