You can, but they make it exceedingly frustrating, hiding the option behind multiple buttons -- I have to search for it every time as I forget where it's at, Kindle options are front-and-center, and you have to decline them repeatedly.

Okay. So far I haven't used Libby. Hopefully my library will continue with Overdrive for a while yet.

One thing that I hate about the web version is that it never seems to remember me and I have to log in every time, and I can't even do it easily, I have to either pull out my phone or go through three screens and search for my library -- a complete pain in the rear.

I don't understand why. My wife makes websites and the software she uses automatically creates mobile sites while she's creating a desktop site. Why can't Overdrive do that with Libby? My guess is that they're catering to tablet and smartphone users. Here's some screen grabs showing Overdrive vs. Libby. Second set of screen captures show the categories, on the side with Overdrive on its own screen with Libby. And you have to scroll several screens to get to the bottom. |

It's working for now until they delete the login page. |

Does not bother me at all. I use the Libby app primarily, and this makes occasional use of web browser more familiar and comfortable. I did not even web interface it existed until I encountered this thread.

There is no way to download content from the Libby site. You have to go to the library's Overdrive site to download content.

All that said, I do prefer the Overdrive website to the Libby website and will be annoyed if they phase out the Overdrive interface. |

I put a ticket in to Overdrive and this is the reply I've received. It does say you can't download loans for offline use.
