[quote=Anonymous]I’m so disappointed overdrive is going away. Maybe it’s me, but there are two things that are very easy to do with overdrive that I can’t figure out how to do in Libby.
1. If you recommend an unavailable book on overdrive, they will add you to the waitlist if the library purchases it. I do this for upcoming popular books of favorite authors that are not yet released and I know the library will get them when they come out.
2. I’m a member of multiple libraries. One library has the biggest catalogue and the other two are so-so. Each library has a limited holds list but for many books I can wait to read/listen to it. I like to use the library with the biggest catalogue for books I’m anxious to read and the other two are for books that I don’t mind waiting a long time. Libby will only let me put a hold with the library that has the soonest availability. I end up filling my holds list at the biggest library with books that are available months from now. BUT the book that is available in two weeks is only at this same library where my holds list is already filled. For example, the audiobook of Demon Copperhead is available at all 3 libraries, but I can only put it on hold at the library where I want to use my holds list for books that are not available at the other two.

Does anyone with better savvy know how to work around these issues? It’s really frustrating.[/quote]
