According to the amazon techies, there is a nationwide problem with Overdrive downloads for all public libraries through amazon. There is no solution at this time but they hope to have it figured out, possibly, today. It has been going on all weekend, so I imagine today will be interesting with LOTS of Overdrive questions. It is download mess. Good Luck. -- Cathy Carter Benzie Shores District Library P.O. Box 631 630 Main St. Frankfort, Mi 49635 231-352-4671 bsdl@benzieshoreslibrary.org
So what exactly is the problem? I was able to download a book via usb. I also downloaded another book wirelessly. It downloaded to the cloud, but once I tapped it, it transfered to the device. ------------------ Donna Winter, Automation Services Librarian Livonia Civic Center Library 32777 Five Mile Road Livonia, MI 48154 ph: 734-466-2675 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benzie Shores District Library" <bsdl@benzieshoreslibrary.org> To: Michlib-l@mail.mcls.org Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 8:58:59 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] amazon/Overdrive According to the amazon techies, there is a nationwide problem with Overdrive downloads for all public libraries through amazon.

I was mid-demo when the Amazon page stopped displaying the "Get Library Book" box on the right. The patron's OverDrive account showed that it was checked out and downloaded, but the book didn't show up in the patron's Amazon "Manage My Kindle" account.

Over the weekend there was a nationwide problem with library Overdrive downloads through Amazon, according to one of their techies. According to him, Amazon was working on it but at that time (Sunday afternoon) "they had no solution." It sounds like they may still be having some issues.
