How to download OverDrive ebooks on your PocketBook ereader

Use these steps to download OverDrive ebooks from your library using the browser on your PocketBook ereader.

Note: If your PocketBook has firmware version 6.10 or higher, you can use PocketBook x Libby to browse, borrow, and enjoy library ebooks (and audiobooks) directly on your device. To learn more, visit the PocketBook x Libby FAQs.

  1. Borrow an ebook using the Libby app on a compatible device or using your library's OverDrive website on a computer.
  2. Make sure your PocketBook is connected to the internet and open the PocketBook's web browser.
  3. Go to your library's OverDrive website (find it at overdrive.com/libraries, if needed).
  4. Sign into your library's OverDrive website with your library card (find the Sign in button under , if needed).
  5. Visit your Loans page (under Loans icon) to see ebooks you've already borrowed, or borrow an ebook from your library's collection.
  6. Tap Download for the borrowed ebook.
  7. If prompted, enter a free Adobe ID to complete the download.
    Note: If you want to download the same ebook on multiple devices, you need to enter the same Adobe ID on each device. You can check which Adobe ID you're using on your PocketBook under Settings > Accounts > sync > Adobe DRM (or similar).

Once downloaded, the ebook will appear in your PocketBook library. It will automatically be returned to the library on its due date.

  • E_AUTH_NOT_READY: There's an issue with your Adobe ID setup. Go to Settings > Accounts > sync > Adobe DRM (or similar), then remove and reenter your Adobe ID.
  • E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER: You've already downloaded this loan on a device with a different Adobe ID. If you want to download the same ebook on multiple devices, enter the same Adobe ID on each device.
  • W_ADEPT_CORE_LOAN_NOT_ONRECORD: Your loan has expired. To open this ebook, you'll need to borrow and download it again.
  • W_ADEPT_CORE_NO_LOAN_TOKEN: Your loan has likely expired. To open this ebook, you'll need to borrow and download it again. If that doesn't work, or if your loan hasn't expired yet, go to Settings > Accounts > sync > Adobe DRM (or similar), then remove and reenter your Adobe ID.
