It seems that I will have problems participating in week 9's things, as I don't have access to an app device at the moment. I own a first generation Kobo, but I don't believe I can install apps on it as it doesn't have Wi-fi or internet browser capabilities. I also don't have a cell phone, wonder of wonders!
I'm sure I'm not the only library clerk without one, so perhaps a group workshop for those of us without devices would be a good idea. I will certainly try the Overdrive version for my PC and download then return an ebook to my Kobo through that in the meantime.
update: I tried out downloading Adobe Digital Editions for my PC and Kobo (the program reccomended for it rather than Overdrive). I seemed to manage downloading ADE to my PC well, but when it came to Authorizing my PC and eReader with an Adobe ID, things did not go as predicted in the instructions. There was no Digital Setup Assistant window, the ID setup asked me which ebook vendor to use, something which was not listed in the instructions. Also, when I finally got to the step of authorizing my Kobo, Adobe would not let me! Since during this process it seemed as if I had tried to do the setup in the past (an ID already existant with one of my email addresses), I thought that it would work ok. But for the checkout and download step, I was not sure where to download the book (it did not say anything about that on the website), and when I tried to find it with ADE and on my Kobo, I was unable to locate it.
Maybe it's easier to use with the App, I'm not sure. All I know is that currently I can't seem to borrow ebooks from the library, which is a real shame. Perhaps I will eventually figure out how to do it.
