  • Libby Will Not Be Replacing the Overdrive App
    Libby Frequently Asked Questions 1. Is Libby replacing the OverDrive app? Yes, the OverDrive app will be removed from the Apple App Store, Google Play and Microsoft store in February 2022. Existing OverDrive app users may continue to use the OverDrive app but are strongly recommended to access the OverDrive collection from the Libby app instead. The OverDrive website (https://nlb.overdrive.com) will continue to be accessible to users via a browser. New users looking for the OverDrive app will be directed to the Libby app. NLB will keep users updated on the latest developments, with the goal of delivering an enjoyable experience for users. 2. What is the difference between NLB Mobile, OverDrive app and Libby? NLB Mobile, OverDrive and Libby are apps that let you borrow and read NLB’s eBooks / Audiobooks. NLB Mobile is an NLB app designed for access and transactions. It lets you borrow and read or listen to eBooks / eAudiobooks online, but does not have an in-built reader for downloaded eBooks / eAudiobooks. Additionally, it lets you access eNewspapers / eMagazines as well as online courses, and check your library account. The OverDrive app lets you borrow and download eBooks / eAudiobooks from the library. You can use the in-app features to read downloaded eBooks and listen to eAudiobooks. As the Overdrive app will be sunset in 2022, NLB strongly recommends users to switch to the Libby app. Libby is a new app by OverDrive. It also lets you borrow and download eBooks / eAudiobooks, but with a simpler user interface. NLB strongly recommends users to switch to the Libby app due to the eventual retirement of the OverDrive app.

  • Interview with Jeremy Greenfield, Editorial Director, Digital Book World
    Interview with Jeremy Greenfield, editorial director, Digital Book World For podcast release Monday, September 8, 2014 KENNEALLY: An auspicious setting and the unveiling of a possibly revolutionary device – it could be a make or break moment in the company’s history. No, we’re not speaking of tomorrow’s much anticipated announcement by Apple from the very same venue in Cupertino where Steve Jobs dramatically unwrapped the Macintosh exactly 30 years ago. Instead this was New York City, at the flagship store of Barnes & Noble. Welcome to Copyright Clearance Center’s podcast series. I am Christopher Kenneally for Beyond the Book. In August, the nation’s last standing bookstore chain presented for the first time the latest edition of the Nook e-reader, its first new tablet in over a year. B&N has committed to purchase one million of the e-readers from partner Samsung, but Jeremy Greenfield, editorial director for Digital Book World, wonders why anyone else would want to buy one. He joins me now from his Manhattan office. And welcome back to Beyond the Book, Jeremy Greenfield. GREENFIELD: Thanks, Chris. Great to be here. KENNEALLY: Well, we’re looking forward to chatting with you about this because there have been a number of recent announcements from the e-reader world. This one caught our eye, if for nothing other than its rather long four-barreled name. It’s the Nook Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. Tell us what this device is and what Barnes & Noble is hoping to accomplish with it. GREENFIELD: It’s essentially a next generation Samsung Android tablet with a few extra features that supposedly enhances the reading experience for those who want to read e-books on it versus do other things tablet do.
