FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

SYNC Audio Update

As noted earlier, SYNC will no longer work with the OverDrive app. You must use OverDrive's Sora app, which requires setting up an account. SYNC and OverDrive are currently working out the details for setting up a SYNC library within the Sora ecosystem. Until this is finalized (sometime this month), you won't be able to set up accounts within the app.

No Longer DRM-Free

SYNC books are no longer DRM-Free. Your books can only be played on devices capable of downloading the Sora app. Once added to your library, you'll have access to your books indefinitely. If you're using multiple devices, you only need to add the books to one device. They will automatically appear on other devices once you refresh the app.

If you wish to download your books to non-Sora devices, you must break DRM. Remember, MobileRead Policy does not allow discussing these procedures (Google is your friend).

For further details, see SYNC Audio FAQs.


Information about 2020 SYNC App

This season SYNC access for all participants will use the Sora app through which to obtain your free titles. The Sora app itself is free and can be downloaded any time from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. It can be used to access the SYNC titles you choose to download on smartphones, Chromebooks, laptops, desk top computers, and tablets. When you download the app, it will ask you for a school affiliation. Before you complete that field or throw up your hands in despair, read on!

In effect, the AudiobookSYNC collection will be treated by OverDrive as a unique library of SYNC's collection. We are presently confirming the exact name this “library” will have for you to input so please stand by until we publicize what exactly it will be (and remember there are still 8 full weeks before the program opens). If you already have Sora connected to another collection (say, your school's library), no worries! SYNC is a separate collection and you will access our free-to-keep audiobooks through a link other than the one attached to a non-SYNC source.

Our advice is for you to hold off on developing messaging about the specifics of linking to SYNC via Sora until we complete our Toolkit with its FAQ. This will occur well before the end of March.

No Longer DRM-Free

Also note that these books are no longer DRM-Free. Your books can only be played on devices capable of downloading the Sora app. Books aren't stored in the cloud and are only stored on individual devices within the app. As such, you won't be able to sync your books between multiple devices. If you delete a book from your device, you will lose it forever; unless you have it stored on more than one device. If you wish to download your books to non-Sora devices, you must break DRM. Remember, MobileRead Policy does not allow discussing procedures for breaking DRM (Google is your friend).
