Is now available in app world... Dunno if it's a port from android or not.

It shows a requirement of minimum OS 2.0.

It shows a requirement of minimum OS 2.0.

Just downloaded it - definitely Android.

I installed it, works great, now if only I had a library card ...

[djenkins6]

Installed from app world and ended up with two icons, but both ran the new version (the sideloaded one was 2.3 and app world 2.4) The new one kept my library card info, then I deleted the old icon and it lost my library so I added my library again and my card info was still saved.

It gives us hope for the good times with OS2 ....

[Alex_Hong]

just installed it too. Android app. but it does work properly though. dug out my username for my library and already loaned a couple of books. A little laggy though and the graphics shows the app is obviously made for a lower resolution device. But at least when reading the texts are still clear.

Frankly, its better than nothing at all.

Happy days.

I would like to know what this overdrive media console does as well. Is it a book reader or a media player?

That but I think I can answer it is an app which enables you to read library e books, so as long as you are a member of a library you can have access to their ebooks

[si_chindo]

I see....so if one doesn't have a library card then it is basically of no use?

Exactly!! But very easy to get though and well worth it if your a reader

Overdrive is the method that allows you to borrow for a specific time period electronic books (ebooks) from your local library. Most are encrypted (drm) so that what overdrive does it decode them so that they can be read on specific types of devices. You actually wind up with a "ticket or coupon" which then gets redeemed for the book and once redeemed, the book comes to your device ready to read (decoded).

[Michel Souris]

Can't you sideload your own books to Overdrive to read? You can on other platforms. This gives the PB another free epub reader, and a good one. I'm not on 2.0 so I can't look at it myself yet.

[like2thinkpink]

I can't get this to work. I can only load "part one" which is a "commercial". Anyway for me to get the rest of this app - please, advice anyone?

[seasprite]

Am fairly new to playbook also and am really happy to have overdrive. Can I access the books immediately on the playbook or do I have to put on computer first and transfer? your help is greatly appreciated

[pkcable]

Overdrive is da shizz!!!! Yes it's an Android App, but it works well on the PB!
