I did not like Overdrive for the Mac or I phone although did use it in the trial a few times. One of the reasons I'm not an RNIB Talking book subscriber. However, I got a Victor Stream 2 Gen so I may change my mind once I have mastered the Stream. At least you can put the SSD card in the Mac.

Hi Daniel, To delete a book using iOS: >From the home menu, swipe down to the ‘files’ button and double tap it. Double tap the region indicating how many parts are downloaded. The delete button should be level with the top of the home button, to the right side. Cheers, Ed > On 28 Jul 2015, at 21

Hi Rachael, so does the book still take up the storage of the book on your device? Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app to see if that gets rid of the book? > On 28 Jul 2015, at 21:13, RACHEL & DAMIEN wrote: > > hi, i’ve closed the app from the app switcher but for me the boo

Hi Daniel, It’s not a limitation between Mac and iOS, it’s a limitation of Overdrive for Mac full stop. It wouldn’t work on the Mac if your second device was a PC rather than an iPhone. I googled the problem when I was having it, and it was posted as an FAQ by one of the commercial audio book

Hi Daniel, Do you mean being able to resume playback on the Mac from where you left off on your iDevice? If so, this is a limitation in the Mac Overdrive program - you can’t do it. Cheers, Ed > On 28 Jul 2015, at 12:21, Daniel McGee wrote: > > Dear all, since last week, I have been using the

Dear all, since last week, I have been using the RNIB Overdrive service for a one month trial and so far, I'm enjoying the experience. I have just one question for those who may use it. Currently, I find the syncing works pretty well between iPhone and iPad but can anyone confirm that they go
