so a little more frustrating testing . the claimed benefir of the overdrive login is sync across devices. so on this PC I login to my libary 0 useing overdrive credentials
I see the test loan on the my loans page i click download epub
ADE opens and sasys licence fulfilled by another user ( aka you can' have it)
so much for sync across devices
OK so how about open in browser- well that works - another poor reader interface though - , but it opens at page 1. another fail for sync across devices. the browser oversrive screens has no font fize, margens etc options at all.

i emailed overdrive but I doubt they will give a good ecxplanation
anyone here know if this is expected behaviour ?

PS I also see that Overdrive promote an new android app called libby - so I got that, But I fail to see what use it has- the reader screen options are worse than those in overdrive app. I cannot see any benefits from using libby instead, unless it has superior multi library talents ( which are of no interest to me )
