Want to transfer books to your ereader?
In the Libby app and by going to Libbyapp.com in your web browser
You can borrow ebooks and send them to your ereader like a Kindle (for us libraries only)
Kobo and Nook
To recap ebooks - not audio books or magazines - can be sent to ereaders
Kindles and newer Kobos with the OverDrive integration in supported countries offer the most streamlined experiences. Let's talk about each
Libby, the library reading app by OverDrive, can send most books to Kindle through an Amazon account
But some restrictions may apply
On the title details page under supports you can see if an ebook is available in the Kindle book format
Watch our video titled "read with Kindle" to learn more about sending titles to a Kindle device
On newer Kobos use the built in OverDrive feature to sign in using your library card and borrow titles from the library
Or you can borrow titles in Libby and then sync to your Kobo device
As long as you're signed in with the same library card on your Kobo as you are in Libby
Your ebooks will appear in the my book section of your Kobo after manually syncing
You can even filter this list to only see titles borrowed through the Libby app by OverDrive
If you have an adobe digital edition supported ereader like a Nook
An older Kobo
Or another epub-compatible ereader follow the next three steps
First install and authorized adobe digital editions abbreviated as ADE on a computer
Second download the epub from Libbyapp.com
This must be done in the browser experience by going to Libbyapp.com
When you open the book
Tap other options
You're going to select epub
Once the file downloads
We're going to open it up in ADE
Please note: OverDrive does not support using any software other than ADE to process our DRM-protected epub files
Third find the title in ADE
You're going to click and drop it into the ereader
Adobe does not have a support team to troubleshoot ADE but users can consult ADE's community forums or articles
If you have any questions you can find help and support within the main menu of the Libby
Here you'll find frequently asked questions under get some help
If you don't find the answer you are looking for you can ask our support team
For example if you don't see the Kindle book format for a particular title you're interested in in Libby contact support so we can request it
Or if you're using a Kobo and not seeing a borrowed book under that my book section even after you sync it using that built-in OverDrive feature please contact support for help
Be sure to download the accompanying pdf to access the following help articles
