Re: OverDrive app being retired

[Arnold Schmidt]

I definitely am thinking of trying this app. Is there an advantage to reading,  using the kindle option over the libby option?  Arnold Schmidt  Sent from  Arnold's  iPhone S E 3 On Mar 3, 2023, at 5:03 PM, Kelly Ford <ke...@theideaplace.net> wrote:  Yes, you can definitely transfer books to Kindle.  Basically, when you check the book out from the library, there is an option to read in Libby or Kindle.  When you choose Kindle, an Amazon page opens with a button to get the book and it is then available in your Kindle app.  I use this fairly often.         From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Wednesday, March 1, 2023 8:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: OverDrive app being retired   My local library had an article in the March newsletter saying Overdrive is being discontinued by the developer at the end of April. We are being told to use Libby instead.  One thing I noticed when I was reading the benefits listed for Libby is that it says you can transfer books to Kindle. I haven’t researched it to see if that means the Kindle app, wherein we could use VoiceOver.  I don’t have the time to read more now, but saved this Libby help link and wanted to share, so others aren’t surprised by the news.   https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/index.htm   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
