Overdrive Woes

I've been attempting to use overdrive off of ccls.org a few times now. I can't get the downloader to work. I downloaded a file, but without the software, I can't use it. So I've counted this as a fail in the e-auidobook department. I can't get it to work.

Something I COULD do though... I take an actual audio book, rip it to my computer through windows media player, then add those files to my MP3 player. I know those will work. Those files then act like the song files do.

I'm sure if I hunt, I'll find more Audio books. In the past I've seen free downloads available. Something might pop up again.

e-Audio books and Overdrive

I was dissapointed in the Teen section at Overdrive... There were some older classics, like My Brother Same is dead and New popular fiction, like Twilight, but otherwise there were very few! And since I focus on youth services, I was sad to see so few downloads available.

There were only 3 titles by my favorite Romance author. And I'd already read them.

Having to wait for a download seems frustrating and I believe would be off putting for patrons...
