A bunch of us at SG and Jen Kolic worked on this today. A patron came in with a new HP tablet. Apparently we may see lots of these because customers could recently get them for cheap - hundred bucks. We could not find an Overdrive app for her to download, her Kindle app showed "beta", and the ALD website does not list the HP as a compatible device. Frustration was mounting. It looks like HP uses WebOS operating system. Apps are downloaded from the app gallery at "webOS Nation". The e book app is called P-reader.
Bottom Line: get ready for some of these devices (and their patrons) asking for help - and be prepared that not all the kinks are worked out.
FINALLY! We got her book to download but only after we deleted 2 amazon books she had purchased and was finished reading.
