Libra 2's overdrive stopped syncing with library
greeting

My kobo libra 2 suddently stopped syncing with local library through overdrive.

i'm using the latest firmware v4.38.23697 on libra2 and i'm signed in to overdrive with my public library account. I can see the borrowed books on libby apps with ipad, when i repeatedly sync on my kobo, none of the borrowed books showed up,

advice?

Have you checked that the books you want are available on the Kobo store? It's possible the ISBN is wrong, and so Kobo isn't able to find the book you're trying to check out. If Kobo doesn't carry the book at all, then you wouldn't be able to read it this way.

thanks for the reply!

I renewed the same books I borrowed and read on kobo before, plus a couple new books -
none of them showed up.

the one i borrowed before with libby/overdrive are displayed as 'Reading...kobo preview' on the device.

That last item is normal. When you finish a library book, the preview is downloaded as a place holder to allow keeping notes, annotations, bookmarks, etc.

If you are unable to do a search on Overdrive from the search menu dropdown list or the search fails, you might want to try doing an Repair your Kobo account under Device Information in the More menu. If that doesn't work, try signing out from Overdrive/Libby on your Kobo and then signing in again.

thank you!

I signed out overdrive and signed back in, that did the trick!

Now I just need to link back my multiple library cards...

This might be why you were having problems. If I'm not mistaken, the functionality for having multiple library cards has been removed. You can only use one now.

this method doesn't seem to work anymore on my libra 2 -
i can sign in with overdrive account with the workaround on library website, but the books i've loaned from library don't show up on kobo, the only way to show books is to sign in with a library card
