It has One Click, but the only books there are public domain classics and language learning titles.

If I'm reading the e-mail right, they'll still have Overdrive, but new acquisitions will be Axis 360.

I guess I'll have to return to FLP.

P.S.: Can you get the audiobooks from the Acoustik app onto the Clip Zip?

Dear Queens Library Customer,

Queens Library has transitioned a majority of its popular digital content from Overdrive to Axis360. The item you have placed on hold via Overdrive will still be available, but may now be more readily available on Axis360. Your hold is still active on Overdrive. Overdrive still houses Kindle-formatted content and much of our diverse international content. In the future, new popular titles will be available primarily on Axis360. Please visit our website at http://www.queenslibrary.org/enterta...wnloads/ebooks to learn more about how to use Axis360.

Please do not reply to this email. If you have any questions about this email, you may use the “Contact Us” service on our website. Thank you for your understanding and for using Queens Library.

Sincerely,

Queens Library
Why does this sound as though they have taken down books and moved them over to Axis 360? I heard there was some demented scheme for transitioning library ebooks over from OverDrive to another service...

Are these people clinically stupid or what?
Sounds like a budget decision.

I don't think so. Axis 360 uses two different programs for its books - Blio for ebooks and Acoustik for audiobooks. Both are available as mobile apps, but only Blio can be downloaded to a PC.

Zinio help needed here

I signed up a few months ago and only logged in using my PC. I was given a tablet recently so I downloaded the Zinio app--excited to sample magazine reading on a portable device. Well, in the app's setting, I've tried logging in multiple times but keep receiving the message that my email/password do not match what is on record. I've logged in and out on my PC to force double checking of my log in details. I'm sure I'm using the right combo on the tablet.

I've emailed Zinio for help but thought I would drop a note here in case someone has gone through this and resolved it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I don't know if I'm describing it accurately but basically you need to log in at the RB Digital/your library page. Select a magazine to download and read. Then it will ask you to log in to Zinio and that's another log in altogether. So I was using the RB Digital log in for my Zinio app, thinking it was all one log in. So if anyone else runs into this problem, keep this mind. It's kinda confusing.

My library will be using Axis 360 for ebooks in the future. Looking around, it looks like Axis 360 can use ADE to download the ebooks (so I should be able to get them to my Kobo and Nook).?

Just to make sure, has anyone else used ADE to check out ebooks through Axis 360? I'm using ADE 1.7, and would like to continue using that version.

Thank you.

I wonder why this is. Is it Amazon, the publishers, authors, ... ? Wasn't Kindle support delayed for Overdrive, maybe Axis360 will get Kindle support eventually?

At least with EPub available, you can strip and format shift to get it on your Kindle (ducks and heads for cover).

You're not supposed to do that for books you don't own

I don't know if they are even trying, though.

Ditto to the above posters. (That cover better be good.) There is an official disclaimer on alf's website that library removal will get no help, and is strongly condemned.

The only reason there is a Fair Use justification is because the tools are meant for purchases only, whether they work or library books or not (don't know don't care fingers-in-ears emote goes here) and that is also why there is a legal justification (shaky, unchallenged, etc.) to distribute the tools.

That being said, some library ebooks are Open EPUBs which can be freely converted. At least, OverDrive has a few. Dunno about Axis.
