SimplyE offers select eBooks and eAudiobooks from a number of our vendors.

EPUB eBooks are available from:

• Overdrive
• enki
• cloudLibrary

eAudiobooks are available from:

• RBdigital
• cloudLibrary

SimplyE is still in development, with new features being added all the time.  At the moment, PDF eBooks are not available from any vendor, but plans for a PDF reader within the app are underway.  OverDrive eAudiobooks are also not yet available.

We are currently experiencing difficulty with passes for the New York Times.  The vendor has been notified and the issue will be corrected shortly.  Thank you for your patience!

Please note that, as of June 30, we have made the following changes to our eResources offerings:

• We no longer subscribe to cloudLibrary.  We are in the process of moving the cloudLibrary collection to our OverDrive collection - they will be available by July 2.
• We no longer subscribe to Universal Class.  We offer comparable content at Gale Presents: Udemy.

Libby is now available in 10 languages!  Read more and find out about changes for some Android users at our eBooks & eAudio page.
