Sounds good. I didn't know if you knew about the Tolinos and thought I should just throw that out there. I've heard good things about Boox readers.

I certainly hope the Nova works as well as what I had been seeing on youtube. Its the most expensive ereader that I will be buying.

I don't even see the Boox Nova (or Nova Plus) advertised in the U.S. yet. I guess they must be brand new. I've – personally – never paid more than $75 for an eReader (my first, a Nook Simple Touch, on sale) but I've got about a "million" others now (though I have started getting rid of some). I'm kind of a "cat-person" except with eReaders.

Even if this info might not be important for the tread owner, I wanted to correct, that you CAN use Overdrive in not supported countries.
For a friend we set up his new Kobo Clara to connect to the library in Berlin, Germany. We just needed to set his Kobo-Account to US location and then search for the library. Works like a charm. |

The only places I know than need ADE 2.0.1 are Goolge Play and OverDrive, everywhere else I've tried ADE 1.7.2 works fine. |

Also, I'm not sure if cloudlibrary requires ADE to be installed? I think that cloud library has it's own Adobe libraries? |

But, curious, how do Boox readers handle Overdrive books? With the Overdrive app? Or is there an ADE version for Android (sorry for my total ignorance about this). |

The Android devices can install the Overdrive app same as a phone. Haven't explore other alternatives on Android for ADE. My only worry is the ancient Android version these devices use. Its Android 6 for Nova, and Android 4 for the older devices. |

To install ADE 2.0.1 on Linux follow the instructions on our own Wiki, which have been recently updated:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/ADE_2.0.1_Linux If it doesn't work for you then there are a number of us on Mobileread who have taken an interest in the matter and are happy to help. The link posted earlier to Pat David's blog is good and should work. Pat based this on the Mobileread Wiki instructions which he had to modify slightly to deal with some problems installing on Ubuntu. The Wiki has in turn been updated to incorporate his work. This is the beauty of Open Source. Cloud library does not need ADE. It uses Adobe but the software itself handles the fulfilment. It works under Wine. Later versions of ADE do work under wine, though it is broken with the last few minor releases. I can't recall exact versions but you can get the latest version working on wine with Winetricks. Just replace the binary winetricks downloads to its own directory under ~/.cache/winetricks with an earlier minor version which will install. I think the latest .0 minor release works. The latest minor releases will not install under Wine as the installer thinks that the binary is already running. My current Linux install has working versions of K4PC, ADE 2.0.1, Cloud Library, Kobo Desktop and Overdrive for Windows. I have modified my Kobo Desktop setup to integrate properly with the Obok Calibre Plugin. Basically everything I want is currently working,albeit with a little effort along the way.

I've never used the Android Overdrive app (or any Overdrive app) so, I'm guessing, it allows you to load the book on to your eReader (for use with the normal eReader) or does the Overdrive app have its own built-in reader? |
