I wonder if this is going to eventually mess up PockeBook's (and Tolino's) ability to directly borrow Overdrive books via their e-Ink browsers?

EDIT 2: Does the LibbyApp.com website only allow downloading to Kindle or Libby — no .acsm downloads?


My experience as of May 2023:

Android phone:

Using my library's Overdrive website on my phone is like using the Overdrive app was, except that it is not possible to use Overdrive to download borrowed books on my phone (or rather, I can download a file but since the Overdrive app no longer works I cannot open the download).

Once I have found and borrowed a book using the Overdrive website, I can then use the Libby app to download and read the book.

Tolino ereader:

I am still able to access my library's Overdrive website and download books directly on my Tolino reader.

Kobo ereader:

Kobo sync works the same as before.
