All I have done so far in the Libby app is to put a book on a wish list. I’ll go find one to check out and see how the reading experience is. I had so much trouble getting the Overdrive app going that this was a refreshing experience with Libby, but maybe I’ll be disappointed further into it.

And it wasn’t accessible. It was just a bad experience. But then, I haven’t had the best luck with OverDrive either. At this point, I can’t remember what the issues were, but they were sufficient to just show of the whole business.

I have not tried Libbey because I have heard so many times that it was not voiceover friendly. Perhaps they have made it accessible now and I will give it a try so thanks for the head’s up. Marie From: R Van Lant Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2018 7:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Overdrive versus Libby by Overdrive Hello, Thanks to comments from this group, I decided to give the Overdrive app another try. When I went to the app store and typed in Overdrive, I got three apps. The first is called Overdrive and is the one I had tried a couple years ago. The second is called Libby by Overdrive and there was a third that seemed geared for schools. I downloaded the first two. Logging into Libby was much more straight forward and accessible than I found Overdrive in the past. I simply had to provide my library card number and I was in; no special setup or user account. I haven’t logged into Overdrive yet because, of course, I forgot the password I had created way back when and need to reset it. My question is, how are the two apps different in function? So far, the Libby app is vastly more accessible than I had previously found Overdrive and I’ve have already been able to peruse books. Anyone else tried Libby in comparison to Overdrive? I could not tell from the app store summary how one is different, although one reviewer did not like it as much. Libby seems to allow checkout of audio and kindle books. I was asked during set up if I wanted to read Kindle books on a Kindle or in the Libby app. I chose the latter for now, wanting to try their e-reader, but I’m not sure if it will be accessible. If no one here knows, I’ll go see if my local librarians can tell me the difference, but so far, the fact that I’m able to get to books on Libby is a delight.
