Hi Billy, There's been a Windows 8 app for Overdrive since November 2012. I haven't tried using it with the RNIB trial, but have used it with other libraries.

I am nearly at the end of my months trial, and I have not been able to use my new win8 system to download AB'S, as there is not yet an Overdrive app available for the windows8 operating systems, and further, why isn't a direct download link for the Overdrive app, using win8, I am finding it very difficult to download the app from the URL provided by the Overdrive team. Could you please help in this matter?, Billy -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Muhsin, Louisa Sent: 21 October 2014 09:09 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Increasingly frustrated with overdrive!

Hi, Are you kidding? RNIB and Overdrive could learn a lot from Audible. They are fantastic and even have an accessibility team. They even make their betas certainly on Android, public, so we can feed back before release of the next version.

Speaking personally, the £50 membership fee would've been better spent on something more fruitful, eg, betting on landslide election results for the Lib Dems, you get the idea. I'm sorry, I don't wish to be deliberately rude, only one does not expect such lamentably substandard service from the very organisation whose raison d'etre is the betterment of living conditions for the blind and partially-sighted in this country. Instead, what we have is an organisation, a commercial concern to all outward appearances, engaged in some of the worst forms of capitalistic practices while still claiming to be a charity. Audable isn't a charity, yet, they seem to do a far better job to judge from the level of praise they regularly receive from members on this list and elsewhere. I could go on, but I've ranted enough. Thank you for listening. <smile> Sincerely, Matthew At 19:00 20/10/2014, you wrote: >I feel your pain, wish I had not spent the >£50.00 but thought it was worth a try, no >titles take my fancy yet so haven't experienced what you are at the moment. > >On 20/10/2014 18:22, Alistair wrote: >>Hi folks,Still having serious issues with this >>programme on my pc,despite contacting RNIB >>overdrive team I find myself on the verge of >>deleting the damn thing! spent a lot of time >>searching for authors and books from the RNIB >>overdrive page, ensured the spelling was >>correct only to have my searches returned as >>errors or not found! which is odd as they were >>there at the llaunch of the app!
