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!

Sorry, I'm new... So, if I check out the epub version of a book from my computer (or phone), I can just sync my KA1 and it will see the book and download it? I don't have to do anything to tell it to send the book there? That's awesome!
