OverDrive E-Book App Shutting Down May 1st, Users Scramble for Alternatives

If you read books on your e-reader via OverDrive, you’re undoubtedly wondering how the shutdown will effect your Kindle or Kobo. Amazon did not immediately react to Engadget’s enquiry on how it intends to manage the shift. Most indications point to the shutdown being a minor annoyance for those who haven’t already switched to Libby. In the United States, you may transmit most books from Libby to your Kindle reader. Also, if you still use OverDrive, you may sync your wish lists with Libby. About Kobo devices, a Rakuten representative said that the business will have more information on the transition in the future. In any event, Engadget will update this piece as additional information becomes available.
