Sure. Hopefully it works the same on your Tolino and with your library.
First thing I did was go to My Accounts and clicked on the Adobe DRM selection. Then logged in with my user name (email address) and password. I only had to do this once.
Then I used the built-in browser and went to my Fort Worth Public Library Overdrive page, which I know from experience is ...
fwpl.overdrive.com (I bookmarked this page to make it easier to get there.)
(I should mention, you have to be patient with the browser. At times I thought it wasn't doing anything, but it was just slow.)
(I notice it automatically goes to
https://fwpl.overdrive.com – so maybe just type in the "https://" to start with?)
Once on the page, I've got blurbs about books that have been "Just Added" and an ad for the Libbey app. Near the top, by the little book icon, there's a Menu icon (three horizontal lines). I just tap that Menu (and wait).
Once I do that I get to a Sign In button. Since I chose "Sign in with your library card" the first time, that's the only option I see. I think there were other options originally, though.
Since I told it to remember my card number (there's a small check mark), I just have to click on the Card Number slot and the number appears above it. I just click on that number, type in my password in the password slot, then choose "Remember on this device" (I don't know if I have to do that every time, but I do.
Once logged in, I get back to the "Just added" screen, but if I click on the Menu icon, it opens up to several choices (including Search) and my account and from here I can do everything I do on my computer – just really slowly and awkwardly (it takes patience).
Once I find my book, I just tap on it, get the information page with the "Borrow" button. Tap that and I get the 7, 14, 21 day drop down with another "Borrow" button. At that point I get the "Download Kindle or ePub" choices and I click ePub. Then I'll get a "Device Compatibility Notice" where it says the "The Overdrive app is required for this format on your current device." I can either Confirm or Cancel. I choose confirm, the books starts downloading with a notice that the Adobe DRM is opening the book – and then the book is in my list, showing "Borrowed" with "20 days left."
To return a book, I just "long press" the cover and I get the option to Return.
I should mention that i have NOT registered this Tolino Page device with any service (Thalia.de is the one that shows up on the bottom with four book covers on the bottom). I also have a "Log in now" button at the top. I don't where or how I would log in (and maybe that's why I can download Overdrive books?). (Just thought of that.)
And this is how I do it. I may just be lucky. I don't know, but I just downloaded two more books (J.R.R. Tolkien's
Book of Lost Tales, parts 1 & 2) to try it out again.
