but it's still the Overdrive catalogue.
I think the point was that you don't need to load an Overdrive app separately anymore, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That seems much nicer. What happens when the lending period expires?
Eta: it's reading in the Overdrive app I dislike. Links never seems to work right, so navigating footnotes is annoying as all get out. AFAICT, I still have to read EPUB library books in Overdrive.

Oh, I misunderstood.

Eta: iBooks not handling large numbers of PDFs, I mean.
And that was when I had half as many PDFs as I do now. I switched to Goodreader and those problems went away.

The Aldiko reader is available as an Android app, and it can read library books too. There's probably an ipad app for it. I like it better than the Overdrive app. (I received an Android tablet for Christmas. I'm just getting to know it, but books came first.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm, I checked my local libraries. The Oakland Public Library does have Kindle books, but the lending period is only 14 days! And the Peninsula library lets me check out mostly nonfiction and classic books for...24 hours? How do other library systems compare?

I can check out e-books for either 7 or 14 days. Most everything I've checked out I've had to go onto a waiting list for, and then had 5 days to check it out after it became available, so I just didn't check it out until I was ready to start reading immediately, and 7 days has been plenty so far.

I think every library is different. I can check out up to 20 books, have up to 21 days, but only have 48 hours from notification when on the waiting list.

I can get 25 books I think for 21 days. I never need them that long though.

I think I can only have three digital things checked out at once.
