Audio Books
Most audiobooks will now work with Apple products such as iPods, and you may now choose between Mac and Windows versions of the Overdrive Console. Please note that most titles are in WMA (Windows Media) format--which generally don't play on iPods. However the, new Overdrive media console will allow the WMA's to be converted and used on iPods. You MUST download the new console to enjoy the new cross-compatibility. The link to download the new console is here: http://overdrive.com/software/omc/. There are also some titles in MP3 format.eBooks
