My One arrived today. First impressions on setting up Overdrive. Not as smooth as expected. They have their app setup so all you need is your library card and pin now, so was expecting that easy experience, but no.. gotta sign up for Overdrive with a username and password. Email I used was already in system, fine so got the reset code. Get that setup then realize it is my mom's name that is associated with OD. YIKES! guess I used my email to set her up. So sign out and re register with OD with another email..

I type in the name of a book that is actually on hold for me but haven't actually downloaded yet in anticipation of my wonderful One. Message is not available, do I want to put it on hold? Well, I already have it on hold, but whatever. So when I try to place the hold it tells me there was a problem and try again later.

Disappointing, yes, but not the end of the world. At this point all those holds I have and future holds will have to be side-loaded the old fashioned way. I'm sure it will be fine tuned. I can't imagine Kobo/Overdrive not making it as easy to download your requested holds as the competition. Some glitches to work out.

I didn't see anyway to sync unless putting the Kobo Desktop software on my computer will allow wireless syncing?

The 2 books that I was able to download direct worked quick and seamlessly. I bit the bullet and installed ADE on my Win 10 computer. I was able to select OD as the vendor so that the same I.D. would be for both ADE and Overdrive
