I had some initial issues with ADE and Overdrive when I first ventured down the Kobo path earlier this year with the original H20. Soon after, I tried the Koboa Aura One, and life was much easier.
So, I'll skip ahead to Question #4.
From the KA1, you logon to your library with the same credentials you would on the library's Web site.
To check out a book, I do the following:
- Search for content - I do my searching on the library Web page because I find their filters work well, and I think it is faster.
- Check out the content - I check out the book from the Web page, without downloading the file.
- Login to Overdrive on the KA1 to switch library sites (if needed) - I have three library memberships, so if needed, I go to the KA1 Overdrive settings and login to the library that has the book I checked out using the same credentials as the Web page.
- Sync - From the KA1, I perform a sync, which automatically downloads the checked out content to my device.
- Read and return - I read the content, and when finished I can return the book immediately from the KA1, or can wait and do it later if I want to refer back to the book for some reason (e.g., write a review, reread a section, etc.).
