OverDrive created Libby to be a Library Reading App that allows you to read e-books on an iOS device (iPhone & iPad) or an Android device. Libby also allows you to download e-books for offline usage and listen to audiobooks. Libby will let you choose to read the book with the Libby App  or send the book to your Kindle, which is already an e-reading device.
