Social recommendations and mentions

• Faster way to search multiple libraries in Libby

  I also just made an overdrive.com account and added all my libraries and search that way. It will tell you every library system that has a particular title you want. (BTW Overdrive is the actual name of the service you are using when you use Libby. Overdrive's app is just called "Libby"). Source: 11 months ago

• /r/brunei daily random discussion and small questions thread for 12 March 2023

  I guess you get access to what DBP subscribes to in overdrive? I really have no idea how it works, looks like that information is only shared by overdrive.com with the library. Source: about 1 year ago

• /r/brunei daily random discussion and small questions thread for 12 March 2023

  Dewan Bahasa dan Perpustakaan is on overdrive.com now! You can access ebook/audiobooks for free just by using your library card (you can sign up at DBP or through their whatsapp, I think). https://librarybrunei.overdrive.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for poetry

  Search overdrive.com for your favorite poet. It'll let you listen to a 5 minute sample of any book you find. Source: about 1 year ago

• New to Kindle - Why So Cumbersome??

  Personally I prefer using overdrive.com on my laptop, then choosing Read now with Kindle, which opens an Amazon window in the browser, then I can choose which device(s) I want to send it to. You can use also the Libby app, but I don't care for that method. That said, are you in the US? From the https://help.overdrive.com/en-us/home.htm. Source: over 1 year ago

• New to Kindle - Why So Cumbersome??

  Hi -- I am trying to help my mom move to eBooks (her idea, not mine!) and it seems so cumbersome to get books on a Kindle unless you buy them thru Amazon. She wants to load them from the library but I can't figure using overdrive.com on the Kindle. If I go to overdrive from a laptop the books don't go to the Kindle. I am thinking a tablet would be so much easier. Thoughts? Source: over 1 year ago

• Got a Kindle for Christmas, haven't read much in my life and wanting to change that, so I'm here with a request for two different reading lists

  Get the libby app - or go to overdrive.com (or both) and sign up and enter your library card. You will be able to borrow and download - to your kindle - thousands of books. There are other free sources, but libby is a great place to start. Source: over 1 year ago

• Placing hold on a pre-release book in Libby

  Ok, now I have another problem. Whenever I go to overdrive.com, it pulls up a website in Chinese. I managed to get to the login page by clicking a different link in the google results, but after I logged in, it again took me to a page all in Chinese. Have you ever encountered this problem?

• I have a question about the Libby website - lilbbyapp.com

  How do I search, on purpose, in ALL of my cards? I can do this on overdrive.com, but I like the libby interface so much better. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kindles are bad for my bank balance

  US libraries usually have e-book lending with actual Kindle book formats through Amazon via overdrive.com and its Libby app. You can even enjoy this perk from out of the region for a small annual fee, do a bit of searching and you'll find plenty of options. You can have more than one active library card too-- I have two. Source: over 1 year ago

• Overdrive/Libby - The Status At The Moment

  That's great. Now we know status.overdrive.com exists. Weird though. I looked all over overdrive.com and could find any link labeled status....not that I'm immune to missing things. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where to read digital light novels?

  Oddly enough, your library might have lots of light novels. Just need to use the overdrive.com integration (I actually use a kobo, not a phone, haven't tried their phone app). Most libraries allow you to request a few books a month so why not. Source: over 1 year ago

• What are jobs that I can get with a Bachelors in Business Degree that don't require me to sit in front of a computer all day?

  Not an "exact" answer to your question, and I highly suggest this book, which si freely available on overdrive.com and at many libraries. The book is used in several Stanford University courses, at many other colleges, and in several non-profit prorgams.

• /r/Fantasy Daily Recommendation Requests and Simple Questions Thread - July 08, 2022

  My local library offers ebooks through Libby and is tied into a state-wide system that has a page hosted on OverDrive's domain. If I log in to the plain-jane overdrive.com website with my library card, it redirects me to the state-wide system page. If I search for books then, I can include stuff that my library doesn't own, and recommend that they purchase them that way. Now, I don't think I've ever gotten... Source: almost 2 years ago
