I have used Overdrive to borrow ebooks for both my nook and my PRS-300 with no issues. They do use ADE to download the ebooks, however, I import them into Calibre and use Calibre to sideload them to my readers. I shy away from PDF ebooks and tend to stick with the EPUB format because they flow better on both readers.

My Sony handles library loaned epub or PDF nicely, it handles DRM epub or PDF I bought nicely also. The only issue here is it cannot handle library loaned epub and library loaned PDF AT THE SAME TIME and I am not sure if this is an Overdrive issue. When people say the nook works for library loaned epub or library loaned PDF, nobody seems to have tried them both coexisting on the nook at the same time yet, so the "it works" is still doubtful.

When you say "at the same time", do you mean the same title or different titles in different formats? |

However, I find the PDFs to be difficult to read on either device, so I have to be really motivated to read a book to get the PDF (even free from the library). When I do, I strip the DRM, open the PDF in Preview, paste the text into Pages, fix any obvious OCR errors, paste it into to Sigil and do some minor cleanup. If the book looks like it will be readable, I save the Sigil doc as ePub. Some have so many line breaks that it just isn't worth it. Note that I do NOT share the eBook, and I delete both the PDF and ePub from all my devices when I'm done reading. Like I said, I have to be REALLY motivated to get a library PDF to go through all those steps. Unfortunately, it isn't uncommon for Overdrive to offer different books in a series in different formats (ie Sookie Stackhouse is a mix of ePub, Mobi or PDF, depending on how old the book is in the series). |

The issue is with my Sony PRS 300 with different library loaned DRM formats (not the same title) present on the device at the same time - I heard the DRM formats bought from the online ebook sites have no problems, only library loaned DRM files. Haven't tried both formats on the nook yet.

Another use I've made of Overdrive Library & my nook is with the Audio books. I download them from my local public library (mp3 version), then upload them to my nook - they are viewed as music files. It's great for listening to on the commute to work.

I have tried downloading a book using Overdrive through the Phoenix Library. It went into Adobe Digital Editions on my computer but when I sideload into my nook I get a "user not activated" message when I try to access it through the documents on my nook.
Also tried going through calibre with same result. |

BTW, I am envious of the Phoenix Library's Overdrive collection. At some point I'm going to put $20 in my pocket and drive up there to join! ETA: This nook feature review was one of the most helpful sites I found when I first got my nook. Last edited by wandalynn; 07-06-2010 at 04:53 PM. |

I only pick on this one cuz I have seen references elsewhere about "renting" books from the public library and thot it might be nice to clarify. |
