The replacement is Libby. When trying to get the Overdrive app at Google, Overdrive was set to download Libby for installation. I guess this is 'important'(?) for new ereader.

Haven't seen anything about it here. So, is this happening to all public libraries? And that all Overdrive users will have to switch to Libby or Hoopla?
To clarify, this is talking just about the Overdrive app and not Overdrive itself.

The Overdrive app may or may not continue to work if you have it. There is a Windows version of the Overdrive app. There used to be a Windows version of Libby but that's been discontinued. Now there are Libby apps for iOS and Android. But for other platforms, there is a Libby website. I've not used it.
