How does one checkout books from the library with a Clara HD? Our library uses the Libby app - does that work on the Clara?

I have a Libra 2, but I don't think it should be that different.

You log in/create an Overdrive account on your Kobo (Libby is made by Overdrive), add your library card to your Overdrive account and you're good.

Then when you search for books on the store on your Kobo you click the three dot menu (next to the buy button) and "Borrow" will be an option if it's available from your library.

Otherwise after connecting Overdrive you can use the Libby app on your phone or wherever to borrow books, then just connect to wifi and sync your Kobo, and it automatically downloads the borrowed books

Apparently[1], yes, it does, via some Adobe DRM thing (so maybe it requires Windows?)
