How To Download Library Books To Kobo

Important note: Although the OverDrive app has been discontinued, Kobo devices with built-in OverDrive functionality will still work. You can continue borrowing and reading OverDrive ebooks on these devices as usual.

Many newer Kobo models include built-in OverDrive support, which lets you add your library card and read ebooks directly on your Kobo ereader. Learn more and see which devices are supported on Kobo's "OverDrive: Common questions" page.

For older Kobo devices, you can add books you've borrowed with Libby to your Kobo using Adobe Digital Editions. Learn more about transferring books to an ereader from Libby or visit Kobo's "Add eBooks with Adobe Digital Editions" page for additional information and device-related troubleshooting.

Hi, sorry if this gets asked all the time but can I borrow books from the library in the UK with a kobo and how does it work? Do they just have every book imaginable or can you order books to borrow? Do I have to visit the library?

I own a Kindle oasis and just discovered that I can't borrow them with that, which is disappointing. I was about to get kindle unlimited when I realised that I could just borrow library books. Now I'm thinking I could sell the oasis to get a kobo.

I actually have two library memberships, one that works with overdrive and the other does not (and needs AdobeDE). The one with overdrive works fine (as long as it's an e-book available via kobo), so at this point I've basically abandonned the other library account since it was so much of a headache and couldn't figure it out...

So glad it worked for you and that your library was helpful! Unfortunately I have a newer Mac and this doesn't seem to work. After I was finally able to dig up and install a version of ADE 3.0 for Mac, when I open the program it says I have to update it to the latest version and won't open. If anyone has had success with ADE 3.0 with a new Mac, please help a girl out hahah!

I fought for months with my old Mac and ADE before I finally discovered that ADE 3.0 would work, but a newer version would not (so I downgraded to ADE 3.0 on my old Mac). I have recently upgraded to a new Mac, and I can not run ADE 3.0 on it. I have kept my old Mac specifically so I can still get library books onto my Kobo. Very frustrating.

After months of authorising/deauthorising my kobo and computeer , my wonderful library team have come up with this hidden fact : Windows 11 won't work with Adobe so , if you have a laptop or computer which is window 11 yout Adobe won't work!! I took o9nboard the info from my local library and tried downloading my library bookks on the old Windows 10 laptop - no problems at all !! I can't believe I have spent months trying to sort this problem and all the time it is an incompatability with Wi8ndows 11 and Adobe which neither will admit to. If you have an old laptop like me which is Windowews 10 you will find there is no problem at all in downloading and reeading your library books.

There's nothing quite like holding a brand new book in your hands. I still get a thrill out of going to the bookstore, picking a book off the shelf, feeling it weight of it in my hands, and smelling the freshly printed pages.

My parents gifted me a Kindle for Christmas that year. I'd heard some things about them, although they were still kind of a strange concept at the time. I was mostly excited that I could hold hundreds, if not thousands of books in my hands at one time. I started replacing hardcovers with e-books, and suddenly my Kindle library had over 300 titles. What I loved about the Kindle was that I could pre-order a new release, and I didn't have to wait until the bookstore opened the next day to pick up my copy. It was automatically delivered to my Kindle at midnight on publishing day. I'd often sit up all night reading and usually finish the book by the time folks were picking up their copy.

Over the years, I kept up with the new Kindle releases. However, it seemed with every release that I was losing my passion for reading. The first Kindle I had, only really allowed me to read. The latest one had an array of features, and I found I was spending more time indulging in Prime video shows like Guys Grocery Games and Nine Perfect Strangers, chatting with friends on Facebook Messenger, and browsing the web. Suddenly, it was no longer an e-reader. I'd forgotten about my books. In fact, I hadn't purchased an e-book in months.

For my anniversary last year, my partner sensed I was no longer reading e-books. He heard me talking endlessly about Kobo and their integration with OverDrive one day. Low and behold, he bought me a Kobo H20 for our anniversary. I was thrilled.

In terms of storage, it packs 8 GB, and weights 215 grams. I don't know a ton about storage, but what I will say is that despite having a lot of books on there, I haven't run into any storage issues. It's also very light, and I never tire of holding it in my hands.

As a book critic, I review a lot of books and make a ton of highlights and notes. This is where I initially ran into some problems with Kobo, but it was easy to troubleshoot. With Kindle, they have an integration with GoodReads in that you can export your highlights directly to the review platform. I'd love to see this as a future feature with Kobo. In the meantime, I highlight my notes and tether my device to my laptop to export the highlights to a notes document.

I also use NetGalley, a book review platform that gives us reviewers access to advanced reader copies. They have an integration with Kindle, but not Kobo (not yet, at least). In order to read my ARC on my Kobo, I need to use Adobe Digital Editions and add the book to my Kobo library manually. It's a bit of a longer winded process. However, I don't use NetGalley enough that this process pains me.

Kobo surprised me with their offering of New York Times bestselling books and authors. A look at the platform now shows me some trending titles include Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez, Reese's pick Honor by Thrity Umrigar, and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

Well, one of the main reasons I converted to Kobo was so that I could borrow books from the Vancouver Public Library. It's been incredible. I love that I can borrow e-books using the OverDrive app on my Kobo directly from VPL. There's a nifty guide on doing so right here.

Although I love my Kobo H20, I decided to try out the Kobo Libra 2. The new hardware boasts several upgrades including more storage (jumping from 8 GB to 32 GB). What that means in non-tech speak is that the device holds up to 24,000 books and 150 audiobooks, or a combination of both.

One thing I'm really excited about is the new audiobook feature. I've purchased a lot of audiobooks through the Kobo iPhone app, and usually use my phone to listen to them. The Kobo Libra 2 supports Bluetooth wireless technology, so you can listen to Kobo Audiobooks. Pairing with my AirPods and B&O headphones was super straightforward.

Well, for the past ten months, at least since receiving my Kobo, I've been driving my readers to purchase all of their e-books from Kobo. Check every review on my website, and you'll find a link to purchase your e-book from their website.

To transfer a Library eBook to an eInk device, you need to use software that can package up and send the book and the invisible "permission slip" that was sent to your computer when you borrowed the book from the library. The only programs that has the ability to do this is Adobe Digital Editions. This requires that you download the file to your desktop or laptop computer and copy the book to the eReader via USB cable.

There is a version of Adobe Digital Editions available for iPads (via the app store) but that app only allows you to receive and read eBooks; it does not include any functions that allow you transfer those books to another device.

Kobo, being originally a Canadian company, fares much better in Canada, by allowing people to borrow ebooks from the public library through Overdrive directly from the device, making the process even smoother than the one experienced by American Kindle users.

This way you could have the Kindle catalog and the ability to borrow library books, even in Canada. However, these devices tend to be quite a bit more expensive than even the top of the line Kindle or Kobo, they are not exactly bug-free, and perhaps they lose something by adding more capabilities.

Thank you, Katherine. Kobo has currently 531,130 books in French. Kindle is supposed to have more (i.e., 800K+), but there are two caveats: 1) How many of these are available in the Canadian Kindle Store? 2) How many of these are low-quality self-published titles?

My recommendation would be for you to write down a list of 10 books in French that you want to read. Include some less popular titles in there, too. Then see how many of these are available on Kobo and how many on Amazon. And while you are there, you can also compare pricing. That should help you assess a little better which of the two would work best for your specific circumstances.

Great review. I am still torn between both of them since I live in Canada. Do you think in Canada I can get a larger number of books for cheaper still?. Becasue I was wondering if things might have changed. Thank you

Amazon's Kindles are the best e-readers around. It's dead simple to get new ebooks from Amazon directly, and the Overdrive integration makes it easy to check out books from a local library instantly. E Ink screens in most ebook readers are a little slow when you interact with them, but Kindles are some of the most responsive devices on the market. It's worth noting that Kindles almost always see steep discounts a few times a year, particularly on Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, so try to wait for a sale. ff782bc1db
