Below is a summary of updates for OverDrive’s Next Generation digital library website that are scheduled for release on Monday, January 27, 2014.

OverDrive has released two pieces of news, one related to their OMC app and the other related to a major format change.

As previously announced, the USB side-loading requirement for Penguin eBooks on Kindle devices has been lifted. Today, we are pleased to inform our partners and end-users that direct downloads of Penguin eBooks in Kindle format for U.S. library accounts are now standard. This means that these titles will have the same ease of use as all other publishers’ eBooks, without the need for USB loading.
