I don't particularly care if they use Overdrive or rbdigital or something else AS LONG AS IT WORKS. For me, "WORKING" means if they have the audiobook I can DOWNLOAD IT TO A COMPUTER. Not a phone, not a "mobile device", a computer from which I can put it on a flash drive so I can listen to the audiobook in the car while traveling.
It's never been a problem with the library I was using. Now, suddenly, in rbdigital, I get this ridiculous popup claiming I CAN'T download the audiobook because of something Microsoft did 5 years ago.
I contacted rbdigital and their response, predictably, was the the book WASN'T downloadable, THOUGH IT COULD BE DOWNLOADED TO A "MOBILE DEVICE".
At least 80% of the audiobook I attempted to get from the library COULDN'T be downloaded, which makes rbdigital a HUGE step backward.
As for the Cloud Library, same problem. There is NO provision to download ANY audiobook from there. Again, contacted Bibliotecha, who were VERY displeased to have a mere user contact them, and was told that "you can ONLY listen to the audio books online"
This whole DRM BS was old years ago and it's getting stupider.
