Part 1: Can I Directly Transfer Libby Books to USB Drive?

You can read or listen Libby books there, but you can’t simply grab the raw audiobook or ebook file and drag it onto a USB flash drive.

Moving downloaded Libby titles to a USB drive will bring many conveniences, especially for Libby users who regularly get audiobooks from their local library. Here's what you get with Libby for USB transfers:
