OverDrive App for the Nook

Good news for Nook^® owners who borrow their library books through the Ohio eBook Project. The OverDrive^® App is now available for download. The OverDrive App makes it possible for users of Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Nook HD and Nook HD+ to download directly from the library to the Nook. In the past, borrowed library materials had to be downloaded first to the user’s personal computer then transferred to the eReader. The App also increases borrowing capabilities by allowing the download of audiobooks as well.

All that is needed to borrow library eResources using the OverDrive App is one of the previously mentioned Nooks, a library card, Wi-Fi access and an Adobe^®ID. If the user has no Adobe ID, the OverDrive App will show the user how to obtain one. A step-by-step information sheet for downloading the OverDrive App, finding your library, browsing and checking out an eBook and/or MP3 audiobook is available at Rodman Library. Information for getting started is also available from the Ohio eBook Project link located on the library’s website [24]. If you would like to sign up for a free library card or have further questions, stop by the library or call 330-821-2665.
