OverDrive Audiobook Update

We have some mostly good news about OverDrive. As OverDrive users know, this service has not been iPod friendly. OverDrive has been working with publishers to remedy this. Some publishers have recently agreed to make MP3 audiobooks available through OverDrive and OverDrive now has a Mac compatible media console. 

The good news is that we now have audiobooks available for iPods! The mostly part of the good news, however, is that only titles from a small number of publishers are currently available in this format. The bottom line right now is that our MP3 collection is small and limited.  We are hopeful that OverDrive will continue to make progress with additional publishers and that we will be able to expand the collection of iPod compatible titles. When searching in OverDrive MP3 titles will be clearly distinguished and the Mac, iPod, and MP3 icons will be active. When the title is Windows only, those icons will be grayed out.

A Mac/iPod FAQ is also available on the OverDrive site.
