    I don't really like Overdrive for a particular reason. Here 'tis.

    The current burgeoning popularity of ereaders has caused most of the books I am interested in to be in short supply. Of course that does not reflect on the iPad app itself, but the following problem definitely does.

    If I want to simply browse, I have to keep flipping pages, only to find that all books on that page are currently checked out. I have discovered a work around, however. Using Safari, I can do a search using nothing for title or author, but restricting the type of media to epub. Then I browse through the results, with each page containing only available books. This doesn't work on the iPad app because (to the best of my knowledge) it doesn't allow you to do an "advanced search."

    Maybe there is an iPad dodge that I'm not aware of. If so, please tell me and I will reinstall the app!

    I can set bookmarks with Overdrive on both my iPhone and iPad, but the bookmarks set on one aren't shown on the other.

    I just bought an ipad2 and am waiting for it to arrive; but I use Overdrive Media on my PC and my Android Phone and my Kindle. All you have to do is sync the one you're reading, and when you open the book on another device, it should be right where you left off. I love Overdrive for audio books and for ebooks.

    Did you get a chance to see the link that Super Moderator, Mickey330 posted. The link show show to use the app.

    ...and since you have chosen to leave the thread that was created for you and come here, I will delete that one now...since it makes it hard for other members to read and help you ifthere are multiple threads of the same topic present. It is also against forum rules.
