5. Now when you synchronize your Kobo, all loans on your Overdrive account should show up on your device, even if they were not made with the library you chose. That library only affects what you are able to search on your Kobo. If borrowing from multiple libraries is important to you then you should expect to continue needing to use Libby (or some other option than your Kobo) for browsing and searching the collections of all the other libraries linked to your Overdrive account.

Unfortunately this only seems to work if you created your overdrive account in the time when the app still existed. I deleted my former overdrive account because it was linked to one of my husband's cards and his books kept showing up on my kobo. I then created a new one, but there's no way to connect it to my card numbers. All it does it save the libraries I use and signing in with it on the kobo gets me nothing. Unless something else is going on, I think this is why some people can manage to get all of their libraries on Kobo and others are stymied.
In response to someone else, I'm not sure why Libby would help because there's also no way I can find to connect libby with my overdrive account. (I would be thrilled to be wrong about this! Once when I was having issues with Libby, I had to reinstall it and it didn't retain any information. I had to re-add all my library cards again, and also lost all my tags.)
