Borrow: Borrow is another word for check out. If a book is available to be checked out it will say 'borrow' under the title.
Place a Hold: If all the copies of an eBook are checked out you can place a hold on the title. When you place a hold you are addding yourself to the eBook's wait list.
Once an eBook is downloaded, you have the option to read it offline as long as you remain signed in to your Overdrive account. If you are still signed in to Overdrive, simply go to your bookshelf and click on the title you want to read. From there, you will be able to continue reading, even if you are not connected to WiFi. If you do log out of your account, you will need WiFi to log back in and access your bookshelf.
Overdrive will give you the option to check out a book for 7 days or 14 days. At the end of the checkout period, the eBook will automatically be taken off your card and checked in-- you will not need to click on the 'return' button. Due to the automatic check-in, overdue fines will not accrue on eBooks.
