I’m planning on using Libby ONLY to recommend books.

Overdrive is both an app AND a website where each library has their own sub-site. I deleted my Overdrive app a few months ago because I never use it. I have been using the website to search, reserve, check out and recommend books, then download to Kindle for reading.

The website has been working fine until they recently crippled it to force people to install Libby. They could have left the functionality in the website but probably need to force people to use Libby because it’s not very popular.

[b]I challenge anyone who is using Overdrive or Libby to try Kindle and tell me if you get a better reading experience. Remove it if you don’t like it.[/b][/quote]
I read in the Libby app for years in my ipad before installing the Kindle app and then buying a Kindle. I agree that the Kindle reading experience is better, but I prefer Libby's display just saying how many pages are left in a chapter over Kindle's variety of displays. It's not a big deal, though. I love that Kindle transfers all my highlights to Goodreads, so I can look back on interesting passages long after I've returned the book via Libby. [/quote]
