You can download audiobooks with Kobo desktop and Kobo Readers that support audiobooks such as the Libra 2.

I tried the Windows version of Libby and it failed to work. It will never work again. |

Overdrive still works even though it's no longer supported. So we have until Overdrive stops working to download the audiobooks to our computers. |

I'm late to the conversation, but discovered today as I was setting up my new laptop that the install file for Overdrive that I have is from 2014. While it will install, it no longer works, and since it's no longer supported I can't get the update files. If anyone has a relatively current install file, or knows where I can get one, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Update: The formal announcement is on OverDrive's web site: https://resources.overdrive.com/libby-faqs/ For my use (borrowing books from the public library to be read in my Kindle), Libby seems to work fine with one possible exception. The overall user experience is different from OverDrive, but that's common with any upgrade in software. The one exception has to do with how the transition from OverDrive to Libby is handled. They have a provision to port a user's OverDrive 'wishlist' into Libby, but I haven't found a way to port the OverDrive 'history. That's a serious issue. As someone who has been using OverDrive for several years, I have downloaded and read several hundred books, and I need a week filter out those books when I select future downloads. Libby has a 'timeline' feature that tracks books that it has downloaded, but I need to augment that list with historical data from OverDrive. Last edited by monophoto; 08-11-2022 at 03:18 PM.

Player and really don't want to change. If Overdrive insists on limiting consumer choice, maybe someone will crack Libby to allow space shifting. |
