(I've done searches for specific books from Overdrive's website, and sometimes they show an ePub edition available at NYPL, but clicking on the link brings up an error page.) I'm pretty sure that NYPL will begin offering books in ePub format soon as well. #RENTING LIBRARY BOOKS ON KINDLE PDF#More and more eBook devices are being released that support Adobe DE DRM.Īdmittedly, the PDF files don't look as good on my Sony 505 as the ePub files I've downloaded from other libraries, but they are readable. You do realize that eNYPL has over 12,000 downloadable books in Adobe PDF format on their website, don't you? (These are from their Overdrive program.) You can read these on your computer, or on any device that supports Adobe Digital Editions DRM. New York Public Library FAQs about Adobe PDF books You can review this link to learn more about this: When you review the online book catalog you'll see what formats are available. Some books come only in PDF format some books come only in Mobipocket format and some come in both formats. The Sony Reader PRS-505 (or newer) with v1.1 firmware (or newer) supports DRM activation for Adobe PDF, but does not support Mobipocket formated books. With Adobe PDF books, you can "return" a book, which means you free up the book for other folks to check out before the 21 day period of time, but it isn't necessary to turn the book back in (I have read Adobe PDF library books on my computer).

So after 21 days, I can no longer access the book. #RENTING LIBRARY BOOKS ON KINDLE DOWNLOAD#When I check books out, I download them to my computer and them copy them over to the Cybook Gen3. I can check out the Mobipocket books and read them on my Cybook Gen3 ebook reader because I can activate that device through Mobipocket's DRM server, but I cannot read Adobe Digital Editions books on my Cybook Gen3 because that device does not support DRMed PDF files and cannot be activated through Adobe's DRM server.Īll I need to check books out is my sister's login and password.

Library eBooks are usually available in 2 formats: Adobe Digital Editions (PDF) and Mobipocket format. Since both libraries use the same technology, I'd expect the New York library to be pretty similar to Seattle's library in regards to checking out eBooks. I've not checked books out of the New York library, but I have used my sister's library card to check books out of the Seattle library.
