I read a lot of books but Overdrive has always seemed absurd to me. You're registering for at least 2 vendor locked and privacy invading services, installing a ton of software from Adobe (noted copyright trolls and "software as a service" bait and switchers) and going through a few different vendors that will all get your personal data and reading habits. Am I misunderstanding the process - vs just going to my library and getting a book?

Seems to me I have to install Adobe. I have a brand new Clara and don't even have the "Overdrive" setting under the main menu... Seems like I have to go through a computer to do it all.

Which suggests you don't live in "Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand" which are the countries where on device Overdrive are supported (as noted on the Kobo website). In that case, yes you do have to go thru your computer. If your library isn't in one of these countries I don't think changing your location in the billing details will help you for library borrowing.

Does the Kobo Clara HD have an internal MicroSD card? And, if so, does it just pop out of an internal slot if one wants to upgrade to a higher capacity?
(I searched the forum with a variety of terms and couldn't find this information, although I'm sure it's here somewhere.) |

Minor problem - Just received a Clara HD and it's working really well except for one issue (likely ignorance on my part *ahem*). Reading is perfect but when I list My Books by title or author it refuses to change pages in the book list; in my case I have 47 pages of books but can only see 1 or 47, nothing in between. I was hoping it would step forward and back like book pages - Anyone have any ideas ?

To go to a particular page, tap the page number area and it will prompt for the page number. |

Just sent off for a t shirt that says "DUH" on the front - Thanks so much for the assist - I just spent a half hour trying to explain the issue to the Kobo on line chat and I confused the poor guy so much he hung up on me. :-)
