We recently learned of a change coming soon for Adobe IDs, which are used by OverDrive users who download Adobe EPUB or Adobe PDF eBooks to read on a computer or transfer to an eReader. This change does not impact users who read eBooks in Libby, their browser, or on Kindle.
Starting this month, users who download and authorize Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) for the first time will need to create a ByteBooks ID instead of an Adobe ID. This is because Adobe’s eBook platform (including ADE) is now managed by Wipro, owner of ByteBooks. Existing ADE users will not be impacted unless they encounter an issue that requires reauthorization or want to authorize a new device.
Since Adobe eBook downloads make up a very small percentage of overall checkouts, and most existing users will not be affected, we expect the overall impact of this change to be limited. Please direct any affected users to Overdrive’s help article for additional assistance.
