News for eBook Users!

Attention ebook users! There are two new features to help you access ebooks: a new collection called Open Library, and a new version of Adobe Digital Editions.

New collection: Open Library
As you search the library catalog, you may find some titles with a call number of EBOOK OPENLIBRARY:

These are part of a new, free ebook collection that you can access by clicking the link marked "Access via Open Library." You can read these ebooks online in your web browser - no additional software is needed - and certain titles can be downloaded using Adobe Digital Editions. You will need to create a free account with Open Library. For more information, visit this page.

If you use Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to read ebooks on your computer or transfer them to a Nook, Sony, or similar reader, there's a new version of ADE available. When you install the new version, you have the option to import books you had checked out on the previous version. Check out the new right-click option: now you right-click to get options such as Return and Remove. The new version automatically authorizes ereader devices you plug in to your computer. It is also compatible with screen reading software for visually impaired users.
(Please note: Overdrive is aware of a bug that causes due dates to display incorrectly, and Adobe hopes to correct the problem as soon as possible. Your due dates still show correctly when you log in to your Greater Phoenix Digital Library account.)
