Hi there,

I have a Kobo Aura H2O that I bought when it first came out. I am generally happy with it, but I'm getting increasingly annoyed and frustrated with the problems I am encountering when I borrow books from the library. I've seen several posts in this forum, describing the same issues I am seeing. I tried the suggested work-arounds (different versions of ADE, etc)... but it is just simply flaky and annoying.

I am considering getting one of the new Kobos, and my understanding is that all of them (Sage, Libra 2, Elipsa Pack, Forma, Libra H2O, Clara HD, & Nia) should have built-in Overdrive support, meaning no need for ADE.

My question is: How stable is Overdrive with these new Kobos? Can I expect a seamless integration that results in a pleasant experience?

Thanks in advance.
