My understanding is that the basic OverDrive system is not changing, and the web site will continue to be available. Libby was designed (or emerged from chaos) as an app to replace the old OverDrive app on mobile devices and was intended only to be an interface with the OverDrive system and database. As long as you have a browser and web access, you can still use the OverDrive web site.

Libby was made because the OverDrive app was unintuitive to everyone who isn’t tech savvy. At least that’s what OverDrive is claiming. Libby has tutorial videos in the Get Some Help section . I can’t judge if they’re succeeding on being more intuitive or not. I’ve used both but I don’t think either app is hard to use.
