Step 5: In the Settings menu you can choose the lending period for your eBooks and eAudioBooks. Not all items can be returned early, so you may want to keep the period as close as the possible to the time you actually need so that you can sooner check out new items.
Step 1: When you find a title you want to read, tap on the image of the cover in your search results to bring up the Borrow button to check it out. You can also tap on the information below the cover image or the "more" button to see a detailed page about the title and to borrow it there.

It will now automatically download into your OverDrive Media app. If you chose Kindle, you will be forwarded to Amazon.com to log in and tap the "Borrow" button there, after which your title will be sent over Amazon's whispersync service to your device.
Step 1: Open the OverDrive Media app menu and tap on Bookshelf.
Step 2: Tap on the image of the title you want to read to open it.
Step 3: The title will open and you can swipe left and right to advance the pages and to return to earlier ones.
Step 4: When you are finished reading, you can long tap the title (hold your finger on the screen for a few seconds) to bring up a list of options about the title: Delete will remove it from your device, but not your account. Return will delete the book from your device and remove it from your account (freeing up one of your simultaneous borrows). Share will let you tell everyone about what you're reading!
