overdrive mobi books not working?

monkeygirl351 · 08-06-2011, 12:09 AM

I use overdrive's mobi and epub books from the library. I read the mobi books on my kindle using a script that doesn't take the DRM off, but allows me to read them. Anyways, my library hase the PID for my kindle and mobireader 6.2 on my computer. It isn't letting me download at all when it used to be fine. Did overdrive update because of the kindle lending or is it just borked for now? I use the Seattle Public Library and King County System if that helps. Very strange as I borrowed just fine a few weeks ago.

It could be that Overdrive's DRM server no longer allows a Kindle PID.

If you are trying this currently, overdrive is doing system maintenance this weekend that might be causing your problem. Friday, August 5 from 11:00 PM – Saturday, August 6 at 6:00 AM US Eastern Time and Saturday, August 6 from 11:00 PM – Sunday, August 7 at 6:00 AM US Eastern Time.

I tried it a gain and it works. I think that it was overdrive updating that caused the issue. I borrowed a 2 other mobis to be sure and they download just fine. So far so good...
