How do I read library ebooks on my Hudl?

I have a Tesco Hudl tablet, as well as a dedicated e-reader. As a nonagenarian, I fi nd the Hudl easier for reading ebooks, but I can’t use it to borrow ebooks from my local library. Th e Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) installed on my PC will only transfer the download to my e-reader, not to the Hudl. I couldn’ t fi nd an ADE app in the Play Store. Is there a way to transfer these DRM-protected library books to my Hudl?

If your library supports the free OverDrive reader app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdrive.mobile.android.mediaconsole&hl=en_GB), you can install this on your Hudl, authorise it with your Adobe credentials and then download ebooks directly from your library.

Add a DRM account with your Adobe details in the Aldiko Book Reader app to read copyrighted material on your Hudl tablet

If not, install the free Aldiko Book Reader app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android&hl=en_GB. Connect your Hudl to your PC, then press Win+E to launch Windows Explorer. Navigate to the ‘Digital Editions’ folder on your Hudl. Press Win+E again to open a second Explorer window, then navigate to the folder ADE uses to store ebooks on your PC (such as C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\My Digital Editions). Drag an ebook from this folder to your Hudl’s ‘Digital Editions’ folder in the fi rst window.

Disconnect your Hudl and launch Aldiko. Tap the menu button (three horizontal lines), then About. Tap DRM Accounts, then Add and enter your Adobe details. Tap the menu button again, then Files. Navigate to the ‘Digital Editions’ folder, tick the ebooks you transferred, tap the down arrow at the top right, then tap Import to add them to the app.
