Can I borrow from Library with Alita ?? (overdrive)

Great thing about Kobo Libre is the built in ability to borrow Library books.

If I get an Alita, I'm likely to take back my Libre.
But a big thing about the Libre is Library books.

Can the Alita borrow Library Books (overdrive) as well ?

I can't find anything about it.

There's the Overdrive app and Libby

Thanks. Press was listing Kobo as the only device that you can do it, which didn't sound right.

Kobo-Rakuten is actually the only reader manufacturer that can Overdrive (previously Rakuten) - however, Boox and Likebook devices are not readers, but Android EInk tablets.

Ohhhh, because of Android, there is the app... right.

Maybe I'm starting to get it...

Im thinking I'm returning the Libre, ordering an Alita (about 85% on this over the Note 3 now) and see how I like the bedtime use as ereader.... If too big to comfortably lounge and read in one hand, I'll get the Libre for that purpose. But if I can kill 2 birds with one stone, all the better.

As a reading device, the alita is too big for me to hold in my hand.
But if you set it up and leaf through it with a Bluetooth remote control, it works wonderfully.
