Five.

[John G.]

John & George, do you have Libby synced between devices?  I have one into my first issue, the sync goes away once I close the app on my tablet requiring me to sync it each time I open it. 

No. And that’s irritating.

[George]

John & George, do you have Libby synced between devices?  I have one into my first issue, the sync goes away once I close the app on my tablet requiring me to sync it each time I open it. 

I don't use Libby.

[George]

The Libby app took away the option to recommend my library purchase a book 

Why would they do that??  At least, you can still go to your library's OverDrive site and recommend there.

[George]

That sounds like two key features that shouldn't have been removed.

Agreed!!

[Jane]

That sounds like two key features that shouldn't have been removed.

I think so.

[Jane]

I often used both features.

[Jane]

I have one more thing to figure out before I am completely set up on Libby.

[Jane]

I need to export my read list from Overdrive to Libby.

[Jane]

As I suspected, the magnets

Never having one with the sleep mode like this before, I really had no idea.

I miss the magnets on my cover, however, I couldn't find the option on the padded covers.

I have not heard from Jeremy since his return from vacation, so I suspect he is not interested in illustrating Annabelle & Thatch. So I guess, like The Wind in the Willows, it will be published without illustrations.

What happened with that first guy you werr talking to?

My fourth floor neighbor Steve Williford, who was living in the building when I moved in 40 years ago, is a director for the soap The Young and the Restless. These days, since the soap films in LA, he's in New York maybe once a month for 2-5 days. We spoke on Friday, and I mentioned my frustrations with the apartment management doing nothing to provide a chair for the laundry room. This morning he sent me these two photos.

Whst a lovrly neighbor!!

Except it is be gone soon, when I don't know.  The libraries say sometime at the beginning of the year.

[Jane]

I found another missing option, my reading history.  I cannot transfer my reading history from Overdrive to Libby and it doesn't do it automatically.

[Jane]

I now have one book in my Libby history, the one I am currently reading.

[Jane]

I recommended a couple of books at my library.  One has been purchased with a February release, and I am the first person in line for it.  I get very excited when that happens.

Money.

[Jane]

Another recommended book will be released in April.  With luck I will still be able to use Overdrive when the book is released.  I expect to be high on the list for this one as well.

What's going away next year?  The libraries' OverDrive websites?  I hadn't heard that.

[Jane]

This year, Overdrive is being replaced by Libby.  I am curious what your library is doing.

[Jane]

From my library:

OverDrive app going away in early 2023
The original OverDrive app has been removed from the Google Play, Apple App, and Microsoft stores. This means that new OverDrive users will need to download the Libby app to access OverDrive eBooks and eAudiobooks on their Android and iOS devices.

Current users of the OverDrive app may keep using it for now, but OverDrive plans to discontinue it in early 2023.

Please note:

Devices with browsers can also use FVRL's Libby website, which has the look and feel of the Libby app.
The library's OverDrive website will continue to be fortvancouver.overdrive.com, which has the look and feel of the original OverDrive app.
For a seamless transition, be sure to switch to Libby by the end of 2022.

[George]

Yes, the app is going away, but not the OverDrive websites.  That was my confusion.

Muse Margaret seems to have been out all day and is still out. If they listen to my message when they return they'll know I sent the stuff but she probably now won't read it until tomorrow. If they don't listen to the message and her hubby doesn't check his email then I'll have to call tomorrow.

[Jane]

Yes, the app is going away, but not the OverDrive websites.  That was my confusion.

What does that mean, that I can still look at my OverDrive but not use it?

[George]

No, you should be able to go to the website, which is on the Internet.  The app is downloaded onto a device and is not a website.
