As you know, we offer a collection of digital magazines via RBDigital, the name of the app and website where Recorded Books offers digital content. I received notice today that the company that owns Recorded Books has purchased Overdrive. The notice I received says:
…over the coming months, all RBdigital library customers and RBdigital app users will be migrated to the OverDrive platform and Libby. We expect that the OverDrive platform will be enhanced with content that was unique to the RBdigital platform, including new Recorded Books audiobook releases, and we will be exploring additional content relationships such as digital magazines from ZINIO. After the customer and patron migration is complete, the RBdigital platform will be discontinued.
I’ll keep everyone posted as I hear more about these changes.
