I love Overdrive and the service that it provides, but I find the interface a little difficult to use. If you are also frustrated with Overdrive, I've created an app to work as an overlay.
Currently its in the process of being approved on the Amazon App Store, but Google approved it in its Play almost 2 hours after I uploaded it.
Here is the Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonegap.librarybooksearch
Its currently in review at the Amazon App Store, if you can't wait here is the APK to side load:
http://www.badluckdonkey.com/LibraryBookSearch.apk
Just select a metro, (currently only Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago), then search for a book.

Click the name of your library that you are a cardholder of and enter your library card number.
When you get redirected to Amazon, log in and checkout your book! Afterwords it will show up on your Kindle or Kindle App.
amazing app! please add more locations asap, though.
i'm in the greater philly area and would love to be able to use this app.
i have done quite a bit of browsing on the overdrive website. I am continualy frustrated because my library is not on the list of selectable libraries therefore i am not able to create a subscription and participate in the sharing.
epic fail.
Cant wait till its available in the Amazon Appstore. I hope the Plano Library System is available soon

Thanks everyone for the interest! I'm hoping to single-handedly save libraries through that donation button.
I'm still working out a way to automate adding new cities, the cities currently in there were added manually.
For stock Kindle owners that can't access this, I've uploaded the app the Amazon App Store, and its currently in the review process.

Can you not access Google Play on CM9? If not, you can side load it with the link I gave above.
I loaded it but it keeps force closing.

Looks cool, hopefully you'll get Austin added soon
Hey MayfairDROID,
Thanks for letting me know that there was a problem! Its tough because I don't have access to all the different devices.
I think it solved the issue and uploaded a fix for the sideloaded app. Check it out and see if it works.
Hopefully Mayfair comes back to this thread. Anyways, if anyone else had any problems with the sideload, please redownload it as I have updated the APK.
Wow!!! I just got it, the books I want are all in waiting list but the functionality is the bomb! Thank you so much!!!!!
Can we stat a area request?
How about Douglas County, Colorado
installing now
but im not sure if you have Phoenix in there yet, if not, im patient and can wait, thank you though, in advance
Hey. When I first went to install through google play, I found it, but it said incompatible.device. I then attempted to sideload and got forced.closes. so I uninstalled and went back to play and this time it was available, and it works. Now I just need library logins

So thanks to @irtehun, we have a working APK file for our Android phones that are not running on At&t. It seems as though to download programs to your phone you may have to at least have the U-300 and possibly internet through At&t as well. Also when you go to log in make sure you use your "att.net" account that you received when you first signed up for Uverse.
Also @irtehun has posted an update page which he will keep updated with the latest version of the Uverse app for us here. Thanks again!

If I understand this correctly, you have to be an actual U-verse TV customer for this app to even work right?
So you have a VZW and AT&T account? Bummer deal for us non-AT&T users... we don't even have u-verse available in our area.

Of Course. There wouldn't be any need for this app unless you actually have Uverse at your home. It allows you to control your DVR programming, check to see what is playing and also watch some downloadable programing from your phone.

I have Verizon for my HTC Incredible but I have AT&T uverse for my home TV and Wifi internet. Uverse is the best IMO. I have had Direct TV and Comcast and they both suck and cost WAY more.

Is there any way to keep this thread updated with any new versions of the app/apk?
sorry for the noob question, how do I apply the apk to the phone to get the app to work? do I need to root my Incredible?
I was really hyped to see if this would work on my Moto Droid, but I see I need to have a AT&T account. Is there a way to circumnavigate and get this to work with verizon?
download...apply to sd card and download like you would any 3rd party app...easiest way is to use dropbox. you can download and place the apk to your dropbox (synced to phone of course) and then download from there

you just need to subscribe to u-verse for your TV and internet. I just installed the apk and I'm with TMO and it works great.
put the app on your sd card and install with Astro file manager, or if u use the gmail app just email it to yourself and click install.
you must have AT&T TV service (for it to work) and a DVR (for it to really be worth your while)
any android phone is also obviously required

The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

If I use stock 4.1.1 and stock 4.1.2, I can see and install Photoshop Touch.
Anything other than stock, including using CM10 or AOKP roms, then I can see but cannot install Photoshop Touch with a message saying it is incompatible with my rom.
My solution was to install an old apk of the software (found on the web, any will do). Then, since I actually bought the app, it simply proposed me to update through the Store.

I must be doing something wrong. Attempted the same thing, I'm not rooted nor do I currently wish to be (long story there, I'll leave my Xoom to be the rooted one for now) but as it stands, this did not work for me.
Upon installation on 4.1.2, the market recognized Adobe Proto and Adobe Ideas were installed. I cannot get these to update via the store since they are still seen as incompatible with my Nexus 7. Great...
And I paid for those two.
[edit]
Just had an email response from Google Play regarding the purchase of the app and subsequently being unable to reinstall after a factory reset.
Here is what they wrote:
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for writing back. I do see that you've done a factory data reset. I'm sorry to hear you're still experiencing this issue. Apparently you were able to download the app before but it is correct that the app isn't actually compatible with the Nexus 7.
If you're still not able to find a certain app, please keep in mind apps that aren’t compatible with your device are hidden when you search for them on Google Play. Developers of Android apps can choose to filter devices based on a variety of criteria, including Android OS version, carrier, location, or even screen size. According to our records, Adobe Photoshop Touch is incompatible with your device because it doesn't match the developer's specifications on for the device's screen density.
Because you were able to purchase this app and are now unable to use it, I've gone ahead and filed this refund request on your behalf - you'll receive another email within 14 business days confirming that the request has been processed.
Thanks in advance for your patience, and if you have additional questions or if you don't receive a second email with this confirmation, please let me know.
Regards,
Eddie

Guess that answers one question, however I still can't understand how I was able to purchase it directly from Google Play. The app itself runs perfect on the N7, so maybe it's now up to Adobe to support our device....
Same here.. sideloaded it works perfectly fine...

I spent two+ hours last night trying to spoof my N7 as various compatible tablets so I could download it, and succeeded only in soft-bricking (fixed by reflashing OTA).
It looks like Google has closed some/all of the loopholes that used to allow you to fool the store. Nothing I tried worked.
with my current rom i am able to buy the app on the store. my rom is aosp based. no tweeks to the market that i know of. no build prompt changes. no idea what im doing right but it is not hidden or unavailable in any way for me
I'm on stock 4.2.1 and it shows up for me. 9.99

Yea they just recently updated it make it officially work on the N7. It's totally worth the money btw, Ive been using it since it was released and now that it can edit images up to 12mp it's SUPER useful.
Still gotta DL the WHOLE app (eg. a 1GB game update) instead of just the new/replaced files that Google announced will be launched with the JB release.
Smart Update: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3248874/google-play-store-smart-updates-enabled
Anyone know what going on with that?
I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.
Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...
With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....
Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.

FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.
Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.
Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.

Anyone tried to add DNS record to hosts file to load Amazon Prime Instant Video?
Hi, I use the method provide by unlocator(d0t)com (set DNS server to their one).
Then use WireShark to capture DNS resolve packet, and found that some stream servers of Amazon is point to IP that is not the same as IP when resolved by Google DNS server. Hosts file (replace (d0t)):
---------------------------------------------------------
dl(d0t)dropboxusercontent(d0t)com/u/82869805/hosts
-------------------------------------------------------------
After add these to my /etc/hosts, I set DNS server to Google and reboot my computer. It works.
May be you got problem with flash player and have to reinstall Adobe Flash Player or Silver Light to play video -> this guide (replace (d0t)): www(d0t)howtogeek(d0t)com/204319/how-to-watch-amazon-instant-video-on-linux/
And you need to re-update your IP on Unlocator(d0t)com (you need to register a free account on Unlocator(d0t)com, and login to update your IP to Unlocator(d0t)com) anytime your IP provided by ISP changed, this is MUST.
I'm not sure if it works for others.
