It's not working that well on my KA1. Rarely, when I borrow a "Overdrive Read" book from my public library, I can get the book sync'ed to my KA1. Most of the time "Overdrive Read" books don't get sync'ed at all to the KA1. I'm on the latest FW 4.9.11311 |
Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, but there are two things to keep in mind about Overdrive Read. First, you have to borrow the book in order to enable reading in the browser, which means that it will automatically sync with your KA1 unless the book isn't available in the Kobostore. You'd have to download the ePub, if available, and use Digital Additions to sideload it. Overdrive Read is just a desktop browser convenience. Secondly, the Kobo web browser is very bare bones. It's hardly compatible with most of the web, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it doesn't work with Overdrive Read. Their help page says, "Most current web browsers are compatible with OverDrive Read. Some browsers that work well are Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 11, and Edge." Unfortunately, this doesn't include Kobo's browser.
