Overdrive and Smashwords

book64 · 05-13-2014, 03:22 AM

Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes...

In the past I was able to add Smashwords to Overdrive and then download free books that way into Overdrive to read.

However since the latest updates Smashwords has disappeared from the menu and I cant find a way to add it again
Any ideas please?

You can always download from Smashwords to your device and then select the book file from a file manager and choose to open using Overdrive. It should automatically be added to your Overdrive bookshelf.

I know, I was just giving you a work around. I don't recall ever seeing Smashwords in my Overdrive app before.
