Rossford Public Library

Tablets

The following guide is for tablets. An Adobe ID is required to download eBooks to the tablet. Use OverDrive's Device Resource Center or your device's manual to see what formats your device supports. The EPUB format allows the text to be resized and to change the fonts. Some devices might be able to change the text on PDFs. The PDF format is used to preserve the layouts of complex documents.

The required app is called OverDrive Media Console. It is free.

The Kindle App can also be installed to access Kindle eBooks.

The images are from an iPad 2 but the steps are the same.
