I have had the same problems with a couple of my Sony Readers in the past while trying to re-check out a Overdrive eBook when I had many days left before expiration. I almost think it is the problem of Adobe Digital Editions. Very annoying when it happens. Have you tried the method listed where you bypass ADE completely with your downloaded Overdrive Library acsm file and e-mail the file to your iPad/Phone/Touch and then open with Bluefire? It still will have the same expiration date on the BFR. I am looking forward to trying out the Overdrive eBooks to see if they will stay checked out on the reader until actually closed like they do on my nook. That would allow me to finish a book in case I get busy doing something else. |

And again, thanks to the the BFR Team for all your efforts. Even with the various issues, it's fabulous to have some access to library books on my iPod Touch! Last edited by Jane12; 11-13-2010 at 06:37 PM. |

I have a first generation iPod touch. I tried the method of emailing the .acsm file to my Gmail (the email I have in the iPod's mail program), but I can't click on the .acsm file--nothing happens when I tap it. When I double-tap it, I just get a pop-up menu that says "save image" "copy" and "cancel."
I don't know how to get the .acsm file to open so it can go into the Bluefire Reader. Any help would be appreciated. |

Thanks, Jsimon. I tried that first--and the same thing happens with the ePub file. It won't open, and when I "right click" on it, I get the same "save image," "copy," and "cancel" options.

I would guess either an issue with first gen iPod or gmail. Easier of the two is to try a different email account

But then, I don't have a first Gen iPod, could it be that it does not support the open-in IOS feature? Doesn't seem likely to me, but.... If you have wifi network, you could try to the wifi transfer method I've described in prior pages of this forum. |

Reminder: For wifi trnasfer without tethering, type the following address into mobile Safari on the device bluefirereader://nav/transfer
It should then show instructions on what to type into the browser on your desktop machine. |

If I do try using another email address, it would have to be a web-based one--my work-based email account doesn't work on my iPod touch. But it would be the same Mail app that comes on the iPod touch. I also tried logging in to my Gmail account on Safari, but it gave me an error message that said Safari couldn't download the ePub file. Yes, we do have a wifi network in our home--that's the most common way I can get the wifi on my iPod touch. Can you direct me to your instructions for the wifi transfer method? Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions and help. I appreciate it. I know I can't do the iTunes transfer method, because my iTunes (I have version 10) doesn't show the "File Sharing" section on the Apps tab. I'm assuming that has something to do with the fact that my iPod is a first-generation touch and only has the 3.1 (I think that's the latest one) OS version--it's not compatible with OS 4. |
