Compatibility issues

Libby will not work on most Kindle devices. If you have a Kindle Fire you should be able to use the older Overdrive app, although this access is being phased out.

There are some access limitations, on older devices, after an update to the Overdrive system.

This update affects older Android devices including:

  • early Kindle Fires
  • early Samsung Galaxy tablets
  • Kobo Arc devices (released in 2014 or earlier).
