Choose download format Different titles will be available in different download formats (Kindle, ePub, etc.). Be sure to check that the book you want is available in the correct format. The next step from here will depend on the format you choose to download in. If you select “Kindle”, you will be taken to Amazon.com where you will need to login to your personal Amazon account and manage your device from there. If you select ePub, you will be taken to a screen where you can download the book directly to your device.
Overdrive mobile One of the easiest/most convenient ways to access downloadable materials through Overdrive is with the Overdrive Media Console app available for both IOS and Android Devices. Once the app is installed on your device, you can preload your account login information, allowing you to search, select and download from the catalog all in just a couple simple steps. See Mr. Haugen if you have any questions about this.
That is it! • Hopefully you will find that checking out eBooks through Overdrive is easy. • If you do have any questions or run into any problems, see Mr. Haugen in the library. • Also, be sure to check out the “eReading @ Lourdes Library” section of the library homepage for more helpful tips/information and tutorials.
