Update to OverDrive and Amazon issue

Posted February 24, 2012 in eBook News and Help, General

For Kindle titles on OverDrive, there are currently two possible methods for acquiring titles. The following messages are displayed in the descriptions of the titles on OverDrive.

The first message says “Use on: Kindles and free Kindle apps”. This means that the title can be downloaded wirelessly to your Kindle device or Kindle app on your Apple or Android device. An alternative method is that it can be downloaded and transferred via USB to a Kindle device only.

The second message says “Use on: Kindles and free Kindle apps via USB only“.
This is an incorrect statement as they can only be downloaded and transfered to a Kindle device, not an app on your Apple of Android device. This is an incorrect statement as your can only use your USB cord to download to a Kindle bu not a Kindle app. They are working to change the message to something like “Use on: Kindle devices via USB only.”
