Re: RNIB Overdrive syncing question

2015-07-29 Thread RACHEL & DAMIEN 
not sure if it still takes up space.  i think it does actually as when i have 
looked on some occations the book is still there and i can still play it and i 
know that it isnt there on the book shelf of the library i got it from as the 
time has run out.  i have reinstalled the app several times as well.  i guess i 
can deal with it but it would be a lot easier if that bit worked. lol.
