When a book comes up on hold, it automatically is added to your shelf.You can send Kindle ebooks right to your Kindle. This is so handy when I check out eBooks on Libby and I just click to send it right to my Kindle (it also shows up on my Kindle app on my phone).So much teeth-grinding avoided right there. Libby hasn’t logged me out of any of my cards in the year I’ve been using it. Overdrive DOES log you out and this made me nuts because my phone wouldn’t always save my library card numbers and then I’d have to go grab my cards from my wallet and re-enter them fairly frequently. For instance, here in Arizona, I have a card for me, plus a card for each of my two big girls, and if I go to check something out and one of my cards is full, it just shows me my other cards right there and I can toggle in half a second to the other one. I added all my libraries (I belong to several, because we’ve moved so much) and then I could add multiple cards for each library. This is the number one reason I love the Libby library app with all my heart. You can easily switch between library cards and libraries.(Plus, Overdrive is shelving the Overdrive app – you’ll still be able to use it if you already have it downloaded, but it won’t be available for new downloads and they won’t be updating it any longer). The Libby app reviews are through the roof, so I know I’m not the only one who loves this app (it has about 84,000 reviews averaging 4.7).
I personally find the Libby app to be SO much user-friendly and streamlined, and I can’t imagine going back to Overdrive.
I was curious, of course, about the Libby app and immediately downloaded it.Īnd I haven’t opened Overdrive ONCE since then. Then, a few years ago, Overdrive released a new app called Libby. I wrote a whole post about how to use it here and I recommended it all the time. If you’re new to Overdrive, basically it’s a program that libraries can buy a subscription for to let their patrons download ebooks and audiobooks at home from their phones, tablets, or computers. I started using Overdrive to listen to audiobooks on my phone from my library about eight years ago, and it’s been one of my most used apps. Give Libby by Overdrive a spin and enjoy all the free audiobooks and ebooks your library has to offer, right from your phone! Have you tried out the Libby app? It’s a library app for ebooks and audiobooks made by Overdrive and it’s so simple and fun to use (plus it’s free!).
