RE: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

I believe there's a Libby Windows app through the Microsoft store, but it's 
nothing I've ever played with so can't speak as to its accessibility.

For what it's worth, I find the Libby app easier to navigate than the Overdrive 
app. The audiobooks can be played at 3X speed instead of the 2X in Overdrive 
which is a plus as well. 
All the whish list and holds stuff is tied to your library account not to the 
app. So when you log into Libby or CloudLibrary for that matter, your lists 
will appear there as well.

I use Libby all the time for audiobooks and I find it much much easier than 
overdrive ever was. As for migrating your wish list I don’t know if that can be 
done.

2022-07-22 Thread Kimberly
That makes sense. Also, if you have cards for more than one library they will 
all show up in the app provided you have added them. For example, I have cards 
for the Philadelphia free library and the Brooklyn free library and I use the 
same app to borrow books from either place.

So other than ebooks, is the libby app as easy to use and to navigate as the 
overdrive app?  
Also, I have several books in my overdrive wish list. Is it possible to migrate 
this list over to the libby app, or would I have to add each book to the libby 
wish list individually?

RE: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

2022-07-11 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz
DRM's got nothing to do with that. As far as Voiceover reading the text, I 
found that accessible. It was the navigating chapters and continuous reading to 
be wonky. Then again, that was just my experience. Perhaps someone who was more 
determined to figure it out can chime in.

 I couldn’t read an e-book in the Libby app at all, unless I opened it as a 
kindle book. You also have the option of EPUB but I didn’t try that because it 
indicated that it had DRM protection and I wasn’t sure that would work with 
voiceover. Libby works great for audiobooks and that’s what I mostly use it 
for. But you can’t beat Kindle for e-books in my opinion.

Re: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

2022-07-11 Thread Cristobal Munoz
The Overdrive app for iOS is going to be phased out for Libby. I’ve mainly use 
Libby for audiobooks. The audiobook experience is completely accessible. 
Playback can go as fast as 3X. I tried reading one e-book in the same app. It 
wasn’t really intuitive and I really couldn’t get around it well enough, but I 
didn’t really stick with it enough to try figuring it out. As someone else 
mentioned though, you have the option to open e-books in the Kindle app as well 
though. Not saying that the Libby app isn’t accessible, but I just didn’t have 
time or the desire to try to figure it out with that book.
All in all though, the Libby app is pretty much voiceover accessible. I have 
six library systems connected to it.
Another app you can consider is CloudLibrary. Some library systems use Libby 
and others cloud library.

RE: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

The process described above was done in a web browser on a computer, but you 
can also check out books with OverDrive's handy "Libby" app. The process is 
similar, but we'll show you how to do it.

Download the Libby app on your 
iPhone<https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/libby-by-overdrive-labs/id1076402606?pt=211483=meetLibby=8=1010loXs=735643>,
 
iPad<https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/libby-by-overdrive-labs/id1076402606?pt=211483=meetLibby=8=1010loXs=735643>,
 or 
Android<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdrive.mobile.android.libby=utm_source%3Dmeet_libby>
 device.

[Libby in the App Store.]

Once it's installed, the app will ask whether you have a library card. Tap 
"Yes."

[The app will ask if you have a library card. Tap "Yes."]

Next, you'll have a few options for selecting your library. The "Yes, Guess My 
Library" option will use your location.

[Choose a method to find library.]
Advertisement

After you've selected your library, you'll be guided through entering your 
library card number.

[Entering your library card.]

Once that's all taken care of, you'll be ready to search for ebooks. Use the 
Search tab at the bottom to do this.

[Use the Search tab at the bottom.]

Use the "Refine" tool on the results page to select "Kindle" in the "Supports" 
section.

[Use the "Refine" tool on the results page to select "Kindle" in the "Supports" 
section.]

Find a book that says "Borrow." Books that aren't currently available will say 
"Place Hold."

["Borrow" a book.]

Tap "Borrow" on the book information page.

[Tap "Borrow" on the book information page.]

Select how many days you want to borrow the book, and then tap "Borrow."

[Select how many days you want to borrow the book, then tap "Borrow!"]

>From here, you'll want to open the book with "Kindle," which will take you to 
>the Amazon website.

[Open the book with "Kindle."]
Advertisement

Make sure that you're signed in with the same account as your Kindle e-Reader 
or app, and then click "Get Library Book."

[Tap "Get Library Book."]

Amazon will confirm that you have checked out the book, and it will appear on 
your Kindle devices and apps. If you're already on the device where you want to 
read the book, tap "Read Now in the Kindle App."

[Read Now in the Kindle App]

This all might seem like a complex process, but it's pretty easy after you've 
finished all the initial library searching and signing in with your card. From 
here on out, it's just a matter of finding books and sending them to your 
Kindle<https://www.howtogeek.com/724066/how-to-set-a-book-cover-as-your-kindle-screensaver/>.

RE: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

2022-07-10 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Dan,

The app I use for reading titles from the public library is Over Drive.  
Essentially, it is an older version of Libby, made by the same developer.  Give 
it a try.

Mark

I have installed it and I thought I remembered some folks talking about using 
it with VO.  I have opened a book but I can't figure out how to read the book 
at all.  I see lots of controls but not text.  Oh yes, it is an ebook.

RE: can anyone out there use the Libby app from Overdrive?

2022-07-10 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I started using the Libby app yesterday, and for what I did, I found it 
accessible. I just used it to find and play an audio book. I did notice that 
you could configure it to use the Kindle app, so maybe that would help. I've 
definitely used the Kindle app to read print books, i.e. not audio books.
