Re: OverDrive app being retired
I definitely am thinking of trying this app. Is there an advantage to reading, using the kindle option over the libby option?

RE: OverDrive app being retired
As a sidenote, I always do my searches on overdrive.com on the PC since you can do a search with all the library systems you’re a member of at one time. Once I find what I want to read, I select the library that either has it available or the shortest hold time and place a hold on it or add it to my wish list or whatever and do my reading/listening on Libby when the book becomes available. Unfortunately CloudLibrary nor Hoopla seem to have similar global search capabilities. You have to go library system by library system.
