Convert ODM to EPUB

Understanding ODM and EPUB file formats

ODM (OverDrive Media) files are used by the OverDrive service to manage and download digital content such as eBooks and audiobooks. These files act as a gateway to access the actual media files, which are often in formats like EPUB or MP3.

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely used eBook format that is compatible with most eReaders, tablets, and smartphones. It supports reflowable content, meaning the text display can be optimized for different devices.

Converting ODM to EPUB

Converting an ODM file to an EPUB file involves downloading the actual eBook content from the OverDrive service. This process typically requires the use of the OverDrive app or software that supports ODM files.

Best software for ODM to EPUB conversion

The most effective way to convert ODM to EPUB is by using the OverDrive app or the Libby app, which is the newer version of OverDrive. These apps allow you to download the eBook content directly in the EPUB format if it is available.

To convert using OverDrive or Libby:

• Open the OverDrive or Libby app.
• Navigate to File → Open and select your ODM file.
• Follow the prompts to download the eBook in the EPUB format.

Note that the availability of the EPUB format depends on the publisher's settings for the eBook.
