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!

Me too! I have had no problems with Overdrive syncing library checkouts until recently. I have 4 books that have been borrowed in the last week or so. Only 2 have synced with my KA1. Worked, didn't work, worked, didn't work in that order. The books are in the Kobo bookstore library, but they don't show as being able to be borrowed via Overdrive on the device. They appear to be the same edition. One is a recent release by a best-selling author.
