"I have used overdrive & Libby for years. In the last 6 months, the Libby app, & I have the updated version, has not been in sync with Overdrive. OK, I can live with Libby thinking I have books out that were returned three months ago, but it keeps asking me over & over to confirm my library card. I confirm it & I think it`s all going to be hunky dory & a week passes & I need to put in my library card number again! I dread the day when I am dependent on Libby & can no longer use Overdrive."

"Overdrive is so much better. For one thing there i can turn off Page Animations completely so that the pages when changing do not turn right to left. On overdrive they just change without the pages flipping right to left. On Libby I`m forced to have page animations. Very annoying. I don`t find libby user friendly either. Not clear and more confusing than overdrive. Why couldn`t they have just tweeked overdrive??"

"A downgrade from the (great) Overdrive App. Libby is polluted, complicated, flooded with irrelevant content while Overdrive is so perfectly simple. Libby lacks everything that makes Overdrive good: the ``recommend a book to library`` tool, a home view with ``my loans``(with expiring date); ``my holds``(with expected hold time). Libby is time consuming, info all scattered around (unlimited tags?). Please keep Overdrive running! Don`t replace a library with Starbucks. with rotating shelves."

"I LOVE being able to rent library books on my Kobo. I am saving so much money not buying books. My only complaint is I wish I could place more than 5 holds as I often want to read bestsellers and almost everything I want to read has a waitlist."

"Ridiculously slow to open items you`ve already downloaded since the last update! I want to read/listen now not in 5 minutes time! Use it most days. Easier to browse than other ebook apps my library uses. The amount of content available depends on what your local library purchases. Works well for awhile then gets buggy every few months."
