Are you borrowing eBooks or audiobooks from the NOBLE OverDrive site? If so, you may know that you don’t really need to return library eBooks — when their due date is reached, they become inactive for you and available for someone else to borrow. However, it is possible to return them early, and we encourage you to do so. This lets you take out more eBooks and audiobooks if you’ve reached the four-book limit, and it also makes the books available for someone else. This is especially helpful right now — usage of this collection has increased dramatically in the last few months, so we have waiting lists for many titles.

eBooks

How you return an ebook early depends on how you checked it out and downloaded it:

• If you chose the Kindle format, you can login to your Amazon account, go to Manage Your Kindle and return the ebook. [Instructions]
• If you downloaded the book to your computer and opened it in Adobe Digital Editions to transfer to a Nook or other ebook reader, you return it from Adobe Digital Editions. [Instructions]
• If you downloaded the book directly to an iPad, smartphone or other mobile device using the OverDrive Media Console app, you can return the book from the app. [Instructions]

Audiobooks

How you return an audiobook early depends on how you checked it out and downloaded it.

If you download audiobooks to the OverDrive Media Console on a computer to listen to directly or transfer to an MP3 player, there is unfortunately no way to return it early.
• If you use an OverDrive Media Console app on an Android smartphone or tablet, a Blackberry or a Windows 7 phone, you can now return audiobook early. This is a new feature, so be sure you have the current version of the app. This feature will be added to the iOS app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad soon.
