Cheshire Library eBooks For the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Confirm requirements.  Make sure your device is running iOS 4.0 (or newer)

2. Install OverDrive Media Console from the App Store (free app).

3 . Authorize OverDrive Media Console with your Adobe ID.

• A prompt will display the first time you download an eBook to OverDrive Media Console for iPhone/iPad.
• Enter your Adobe ID and password.

       If you do not have an Adobe ID:

• Select “Register at Adobe.com“.
• Follow instructions to sign up and get an Adobe ID.
• In OverDrive Media Console, go to Get Books+>eBook Settings>Authorize with Adobe ID.
• Enter the email address and password for your new Adobe account.
• Select “Authorize“. 

4. Find books to download.

• Open OverDrive Media Console by tapping the OverDrive app icon.
• Tap “Get Books+“, located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
• Tap “Add a Library“
• Enter “06410″ into the search bar and tap “Search“.
• “Library Connection, Inc.” will be displayed. Tap it.
• Tap “Login” to sign in to the downloadable catalog (select Cheshire Library from the drop-down menu, enter your Cheshire library card #).

5. Search the catalog to find an item you wish to download. If it is available for checkout,

“Add to Cart” will be seen in the catalog entry. If an item is not available, you can “Place a Hold“.

6. Checkout & Download.

• Once the item is in your Cart, select “Proceed to Checkout” to start the download process.
• Select “Confirm Check Out” the select “Download“.
• Your title will start downloading in the OverDrive Media Console.

 7. Once the title has downloaded it will be available in the “library” section for the lending period assigned to that item. Select the title to begin reading your book.

Your library eBook will expire at the end of the lending period, so there is no possibility of an overdue eBook! If you’d like to return your eBook before the due date:

• Select the title and choose the Delete option
• Choose “Return and Delete” to remove the title from your OverDrive Account (from the iPhone/iPod/iPad: Tap Edit, then Delete)
• Don’t chose “Delete without Returning” unless a title has already expired – this will remove a file from your device, but it will still be checked out to you for the full lending period.
