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 ByteBooks ID to complete the download. Please note:
    • Adobe IDs are no longer supported for ebook downloads. If your device prompts you for an Adobe ID, you'll need to enter a ByteBooks ID in the Adobe ID field instead.
    • If you want to retain access to ebooks that you downloaded using your Adobe ID (e.g., active library loans or purchased ebooks), make sure to create your ByteBooks ID using the same email address you used for your Adobe ID. If you no longer have access to that email address, contact Wipro/ByteBooks for support: ebooks-support@wipro.com.
    • If you want to download the same ebook on multiple devices, you need to enter the same ID on each device. You can check which 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.
