I wasn't sure where to put this but thought I would give it a go and see if anyone else is having this problem.

I have checked out e-books for over 10 years at my local library using Overdrive and transferring them to my Nook with Adobe Digital Editions. It has been an easy process and I have read many books thanks to this program.

Overdrive has made major changes recently, they stopped downloading MP3 files for audio books as of the 13th of November. Libby is the program they use now and makes it so you can only check them out on a smart phone. After talking with my librarian they thought the process to check out e-books would not be affected, e-pub format will still be available as far as they knew. I was concerned because it only spoke about using a Kindle through Libby for e-books. It wasn't clear if Overdrive was completely going away either. So I was not sure what would happen.

I checked one e-book out a few weeks ago and had a weird experience, after I had downloaded the file through Overdrive onto my computer, it was trying to open the file in Adobe Acrobat which is not compatible with e-pub files. I managed to open it in ADE by going to file explorer and telling it to open it with the right file and it went to my library just fine. I was then able to transfer it to my Nook.

Tonight I attempted to checkout another e-book and encountered the same issue. But when I tried to transfer the book to my Nook, ADE said I did not have permission to check it out and I could not get it to load. Overdrive showed it was checked out to me but something has been short circuited here.

I know it doesn't make sense that changes to audio files would affect e-pub files but it just seems like this is connected in some way.

Anyone else have this problem or know of someone who has?
I sent a request for help from my library but it will be a few days before I hear back from them.

Just thought someone here might have some insight.

Thanks
