These days when a customer installs OverDrive Media Console on a mobile device, they automatically get a mobile browser downloaded to their device. It’s a much simpler version of the OverDrive interface we see on our desktop computers.
This is done for a lot of good reasons, including having the ability to navigate more easily on a small device and the ability for OverDrive to block display of titles that won’t work on a mobile device, like the Adobe PDF eBooks.
However, the desktop interface is much richer, more image-driven, and is easy to use on an iPad. You may find iPad users who will want the richer desktop interface on their device, instead of the default mobile interface. It is possible for iPad users to use the desktop version by following these steps:
· On a computer, go to our OverDrive interface.
· Copy the url in the address bar and send that to the user in an email.
· On their iPad, the user opens the email, clicks the url link, and is taken to the desktop interface.
· For convenience in the future, the user can create a shortcut to the desktop interface on the iPad home screen by clicking “Add to Home Screen”. See example below.
