still working on it. each of my library/the overdrive app / PC browser have 2 sign in options: with my library card or with my overdrive account
I cannot yet find a combo that lets me start reading a library book in libby, and then lets me also download a copy into ADE on the PC , or vice versa - I get " fulfilled by another user" even though the credentials match. I have emailed libby support to ask if this by design or if there is a way.
I can download in libby on tablet 1, and them do the same on tablet 2 though, and last page syncs OK , I think
I think I tried every sign in permutation , but maybe I missed one. also, libby stores both sets of credentials so it's not obvious which one it actaully uses or if that matters.
I think opinions differ for the Kobo KA1 loan route as to whether that allows a copy of a given book to download to ADE, after the book has checked out via the KA1 + kobo shop route ?. I cannot test that until I buy the KA1
last one: I cannot find any info about the overdrive "read format", except the blindingly obvious statement that it is a format designed to let you read ebooks in a browser. I would like to understand who creates the read format versions and how ( from an author's perspective) and is there anything that read can do that epub2 cannot , or vice versa. but I cannot find any technical comparison articles
knowing where / how libby stores fonts on tablets, with a view to adding some, is another nice to have - but I suspect there is no easy way It is not seeing my extra fonts in the android system fonts folder. and it offers just serif or non serif in the custom reading settings screen
