Thanks for all the help. HERE'S WHAT I CAN DO NOW:
From my computer, I can download an Overdrive library book using Adobe ADE, into My Digital Editions folder. It then appears on my Kindle Libby app which I can read until my loan expires. I can also load it into Calibre using Add Books, then I can read it on my Calibre reader (View). HERE'S WHAT I CAN'T DO: I cannot find a way to move my copy of the book from Calibre to Kindle after my loan expires. When I try to email it to Kindle from Calibre, it generates a "job" which times- out after 3 minutes. Seems like I should be able to do this. Does Kindle have a memory of my borrowing and returning it from my Libby app? |

Omce expired, the DRM will not allow the eBook to be read. You have to borrow it again and put it on your Kindle before it expires with long enough time to be able to read it.
What is it about the word expired don't you understand? Last edited by JSWolf; 08-14-2023 at 04:22 PM. |

When a default lending period hasn't been determined in the library's setting (for new library for example), can the plugin pick one? And if yes, which period will it pick?

Simplest work around is to use Libby and borrow your first loan and it should automatically set the lending period preference. |

I ask this because a library suddenly give me 21 days when I borrowed the book via the plugin when I'm pretty sure I've set it up to 7 days. On an unrelated note, Idk if this shows in your OS but with Windows, Loan tabs actually display titles column nicely (titles don't get cut off) without me needing to resize the plugin window but Hold tabs has different Title column size. I wonder why? Is it possible that the size of the columns be made uniform for all tabs? https://puu.sh/JOn9s/f477c1ec89.png vs https://puu.sh/JOn9u/6b8489b7c9.png |

I have been checking out magazines from my library. Some download fine but some, like PC Gamer, give me the error message: AttributeError " 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'perfs'

I've also tested with the 2 different PC Gamer magazine titles listed below and both downloaded fine. PC Gamer (US Edition) https://share.libbyapp.com/title/10048533 PC Gamer https://share.libbyapp.com/title/10065491 Can you provide a link to a magazine that could not be downloaded? |

I have installed this plugin and entered my cards from three libraries into Libby on my phone and linked it to the plugin. This appears to be working and I am able to see my loans and download them.
Exploring a bit further I am trying out the search feature. Is there a way to define the search target a bit better? For example, I had hoped to see which of James White's books were available to me. The results returned included many other authors and even titles matching one of the words. Is there a way to limit a search to a particular field, such as author? Is there to require a match of all words as opposed to any? I am pleased to have this plugin and look forward to making good use of it. Dave |

Your library's OverDrive Advanced Search page (browser/desktop) is probably more suitable for what you have in mind. |
