Contrarius | 373 comments It's a great program, but personally I'm irritated that they're forcing us to use their app this year. I want the direct downloads back!

Dee (austhokie) | 1954 comments yeah me too! i also lost my archive when i had to reinstall overdrive last year

Kathleen | 356 comments I hope that some techie will explain how we can download the titles to our computers. I don't want them using up phone space. I like loading them from my computer to the Smart Audiobook app when I'm ready to listen to them.

Yeah, me too, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. More and more audiobook sellers/purveyors/etc. are going to a streaming/renting model rather than an owning/downloading model. It's a real pain.

it looks like you can download to desktop but you have to listen through the Sora app when you go to listen -https://help.soraapp.com/en-us/5016.htm
