Back onto the technical side: I've not done it personally; but I believe that if you can get your hands on someone else's Aura One temporarily, you may be able to link your friend's Kobo account to their Overdrive account. She will then be able to borrow books directly on her Kobo.

Whitehorse and/or Manningham is her area, she's since told me that getting out is good for her so going to the library is still on. I guess I misunderstood that bit.
I don't know anyone with the Aura One so I can't do that.

It looks like I'll have to install ADE on my computer just for her. I guess when I've got it installed I can look around it and see if it supports multiple users. That's the bit I haven't worked out as if I install it and set it up for her but that stops me using my computer for me it's rather crap.
I think the most irritating part of all this is that if we had no regard for the authors it would be much simpler. Just sideload everything DRM free from whatever dodgy source you got it from.
So the DRM system hinders the legitimate users.
I've been reading through the, eight page, thread on setting up a Kobo without registering it. It seems familiar, so it's probably what I did when I got mine. I don't like being a statistic used for tracking.
I'd have done that for her if it wasn't for the library books.
