Apps & devices

The 'things' we had to do this week were about our electronic library.  It was a good review for me, as I had previously installed both the BiblioNB and OverDrive apps.  However, since I do not have an ereader or tablet but rather an iPhone, I have not read a lot of eBooks.

Thing #21 - Download and return a library eBook
I found the process a little frustrating - first I was told that I had to be connected to the internet, even though I thought with my data plan the internet was always 'on'.  So I went into the settings on my phone and connected to the library WiFi. That was the first hurdle.  The next roadblock was after I had selected & checked out my book.  I clicked on the download link six times, and kept getting the message 'Fulfill:-1003 An unexpected system error occured while trying to contact the Adobe servers'.  On the seventh try it worked.  I don't know how or why, but I wasn't going to dispute it.  Returning the book was very simple and I had no problems at all.
