Nancy - When I go to Libby and borrow an ebook with Overdrive, it says it’s downloaded but won’t download the epub files to my Kobo. Often, it changes the option of borrowing a book on Overdrive to purchasing the book from Kobo. There is no way to switch back to Overdrive.This problem started yesterday.....

Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
