I have been using overdrive on iPad, nook, and kindle fire for several years...to read ebooks from Sumter Library and "free" library of Philadelphia. It has worked fine and reliably. Now, Sumter has forced us to change to Axis. Some Google research shows that axis is less expensive for them and more efficient for the library in buying books and managing their collection.

So, today I loaded axis on iPad and nook...no problem and, actually, I like the reader software a little better. Would not load on my 5th generation Kindle HD. Again, professor Google had the answer ...had to side load the app out side the Amazon App Store and it works fine. But, it definitely won't work on the paper white versions of Kindle. It is what it is, required change...some features better, some features lost.
