Overdrive has title kobo store doesn't
I just bought an Aura one, and within an hour I noticed missing/not syncing books. I have 6 titles checked out in overdrive but only 5 show up on the ereader.
I think this is because overdrive has the title, but it is not available in the kobo store for some reason. In this case the novella that is missing is included in a different title that is available on the kobo store, so there is a workaround. How common is it for an overdrive title to be missing from the kobo store? If this is a common occurrence, then that really reduces the value of the Aura one for me. The missing book is busted by karin slaughter. |

Not very in my experience. But it likely depends on the book, and your library.

You can always try sideloading the missing book through ADE.
Sadly, not as fun, but that's what the rest of us have to do with all overdrive books. |

Basically, the library copy must have the same ISBN as the copy in the Kobo store. I'm not sure about your library but mine do show the ISBN in the book details so I can check if there is a mismatch. In the case of the book you mentioned, my library has Busted as a standalone ebook while the Kobo and Amazon stores have the ebook version of Busted only as a bonus novella in Unseen's ebook version. |

The workaround is, as others have pointed out, is to download and sync the book to your reader via Adobe Digital Editions. |

Is this a regional problem? Busted by Karin Slaughter appears in the Kobo store when I do a search for it. I'm in the UK. See screencap.
