This is great news! KLC and Clara owner here. I second @jacobtender.net ’s two points about multiple cards (which was previously possible because we could sign in with Overdrive instead of a specific card) and syncing.

multiple library cards! I am very close to returning my Kobo Libra Color (which I just got) because it can't handle multiple libraries — this is a feature that every other device that runs Libby does flawlessly

They're on the case and understand the urgency 👍

Overdrive support on Kobo for more countries where libraries use Overdrive (e.g. Ireland with Dun Laoghaire Rathdown library)

The syncing between Libby on my phone and Overdrive on my Kobo is always off. I'll have holds show ready to borrow on my phone and none of them have been updated/are ready for download on my Kobo (same library card).

Multi library support! I bought a kobo and returned it last summer because I found out that this feature stopped working. I have 8 libraries as I live in several places. Currently still with kindle and considering moving to pocketbook since they have Libby app integration.

Since you’re at it, could you please advocate with us for @libbyapp.com to drop support for AI generated slop and AI features on their app since it’s stupid and it’s greatly affecting libraries small budgets? Thank you.

..not regarding the libby app but for the next update could something be done about WiFi being turned on when Bluetooth is ? Battery issue is not good. Thanks

@mtamblyn.bsky.social I know you are forbidden from discussing timelines, but is there any movement on this? It is currently the biggest frustration with Kobo.

Magazines.

Page sync from Kobo back to Libby.

To pile on: lately I’ve been hit with an issue where I can check out books with my library card but they don’t appear on my Kobo despite the Kobo store having the “same” book. Multiple library card support would also be huge, in NYC I legitimately have 3 cards with all separate availabilities.

Sorry, I meant multiple cards was discontinued on Kobo (I was already a big Libby user on my old Kindle) but I guess a better phrase would’ve been “no longer compatible with Kobo.” Appreciate your work on this!

I'm begging for this to be supported.

The second thing would be those titles that won’t sync regardless of the issuing library. I borrowed Wuthering Heights from the same institution that issued another book synced to my Kobo. It didn’t appear. I’m guessing the book ID wasn’t one Kobo could match, but I don’t know the details there.

Well, we can't have that ,lol. Stay safe from the sharks ('m betting it's sharks cause magma makes no sense)!

It occurs to me a week too late that I could have bugged some Overdrive folks about this in the halls at CodeMash. 🙃
