It isn't perfect for sure. For instance, I checked out a copy of Julie of the Wolves from my library. Fully expected to see it on my KA1. But it didn't download after a sync. So, I searched Kobo and yes, the book was available in the Kobo bookstore, but had a different cover than the library book. Possibly a different version? At any rate, I had to side-load that particular book through ADE. Maybe the Kobo copy needs to be exactly the same the library copy to work? I don't know.

Only issue I've encountered so far, but having had one, I guess it could happen again.

I'm running the latest firmware 4.4.9298, updated this AM.

Edit: I don't often search for library books on my KA1, I do most of that on a tablet or computer, then auto checkout for my holds and sync deliver my library books to the KA1. But I did search a few books and they came up fine using the Overdrive filter on the KA1.

I've really loved the library feature, other than that one instance where I had to side-load!
