OverDrive to sunset Fire tablet app.

Sunsetting the OverDrive app for Fire tablets
Due to a majority of Fire tablet users already using Libby, OverDrive will sunset the legacy OverDrive app on January 31, 2025. After this date, the OverDrive app sunset will be complete on all platforms.

Users with Fire tablets running Android 9 or higher can install the Libby app instead. We’ve been encouraging users to switch to Libby through in-app messaging and will display a new message about the sunset beginning on December 9, 2024.

OverDrive website design and accessibility updates
To simplify the design of your library’s OverDrive website, we will make the following updates on January 6, 2025:

Remove star ratings on title details pages.
Simplify the hold notification display to direct users to their Holds page to take action on available holds.

The simplified “hold ready” notification.

In the coming months, we’ll also make these additional updates to improve accessibility for your library’s OverDrive website:

Remove high contrast mode as a user setting, and instead, improve color contrast throughout the site.
Redesign the title details page.

We’ll send a follow-up communication when the accessibility updates are live. If you have any questions, please reach out to your OverDrive Account Manager.

Thank you,
OverDrive
