Which sign-in option in the OverDrive app is best for me?

The OverDrive app has limited availability. If you can't use the OverDrive app, we encourage you to try our newer reading app, Libby. Get started with Libby on Android, iOS, Fire tablets, or in your browser.

When you first install and open the OverDrive app, you'll see several options for signing into the app.

To download ebooks on multiple devices, sign in to the OverDrive app the same way on each device.

The OverDrive account option

The OverDrive account option allows you to sign into the OverDrive app on multiple devices and authorize Adobe Digital Editions on a computer.

To sign into the app with an OverDrive account, select Sign up or Sign in.

Then, enter your name (if prompted), email address, and password.

The library card option

Note: The library card sign-in option is supported for most libraries, but not all.

The library card option also allows you to sign into the OverDrive app on multiple devices, but you can't use it to authorize Adobe Digital Editions.

To sign in with your library card, select Sign up or Sign in.

Then, select Sign up using library card (or Sign in using library card).

The under-13 or school option

The under-13 sign-in option is recommended for users under the age of 13 who can't sign in using their library card.

This option allows you to sign into the OverDrive app on only one device, so you can't download ebooks on multiple devices. Learn more about the under-13 option.
