News about the Library Reading App
Dear Kate,
Please review the following important Libby updates.
Libby for Amazon Fire tablets
Libby is now available to download from the Amazon Appstorehttps://click.e.overdrive.com/?qs=011676f853294a834280b8219c7fb618a208bb5f4ccdb9a5feff1aaafb9bac270b7eeb6649f76ca82b755f5753745502652954e36913cd8b. Going forward, users with Amazon Fire tablets should download Libby directly from the Amazon Appstore instead of manually sideloading the app.
Additional details:
- The OverDrive app will be removed from the Amazon Appstore on June 7, 2023. Fire tablet users who already have the OverDrive app installed can continue to use it for now, but it is no longer in active development. The OverDrive app will display messaging encouraging those with compatible devices to upgrade to Libby.
- The web page that hosted OverDrive’s Libby APK instructions will redirect users to the Amazon Appstore to download Libby. Users with OverDrive’s Libby APK on their Fire tablet can continue to use that version. If a user would like to switch to the Amazon Appstore version of the app, they can follow these stepshttps://click.e.overdrive.com/?qs=011676f853294a8363699767aedd51bb9d9a53e6c68217f681daddaad9d866646060c7d8c22640435827cea7c5bb276ef0246e084c72b361. Note: Users who switch from the APK version to the Amazon Appstore version of Libby may lose their Libby timeline activity, search history, and app customizations. They will not lose their loans, holds, or tags.
- The Kindle Book format remains available to users in the U.S. only.
OverDrive app reading history in Libby

This update will take place over the next several days and will allow users to keep track of all titles they previously borrowed from your digital collection in one place.
