Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations for an eInk ereader for use simultaneously with both Overdrive and Bibliotheca Cloud Library?

For years I’ve happily used Overdrive for library books, but where I live now our library system (NYPL) splits their ebook collection between Overdrive and Bibliotheca Cloud Library, and many of the books I’d like to read aren’t available in their OD collection.

I believe both should to be able to work via ADE on my Kobo Aura but in practice I’ve never been able to reliably make this work for both of them for any length of time — it seems as soon as I get one working, the other will produce an ADE error, or I have to unauthorize/reauthorize w/my Adobe ID, etc. It starts to seem like more trouble than it’s worth. (I’m using ADE on my Mac, and have tried different versions.)

I wonder if the Kobo Aura One could solve this problem by connecting to OD via the Kobo Store rather than ADE, and then using ADE just for CL? Has anyone done this?

I think in the eyes of NYPL the best solution is to use their SimplyE app for iOS/Android which combines both collections under one front end UI. I’ve tried this and it’s nice, but I’d really prefer to use eink.

I’m open to any brand, size, etc. really - but my understanding is that a Nook would have to do both via ADE just like I am now, and the Kindle can only do OD. (But please correct me if that’s incorrect!)

Thanks for any advice!
Brian
