Good question. Here's from one newbie to another:

When I asked my librarian, she said I had to install Overdrive and get an Adobe I.D. She then showed me how she logged in and selected a book with her iPad. Having worked with computers for decades and seeing Overdrive mentioned on this forum, I thought it would be a breeze. I already had an Adobe I.D. (just your email and a password) because I'd been on Adobe Forums, but if you don't you just go to adobe.com and sign in. I don't even think it needs more than just your email, although there are a bunch of other items with a star. It's when I installed the Overdrive Media Console app on my Vox that I got lost, because all it was was an audio with a description. I eventually found that when I pressed the Menu button on the Vox there was an option to add a library. That's when it switches to your browser and you add your public library and log in with your library card number and PIN and find your book. The book downloads into Overdrive and that's where you read it.
