[nabs-l] overdrive and one click digital

[Ashley Bramlett]

Thanks.

Right, the overdrive is in protected
WMA, so I have to use a pc or laptop.
I believe overdrive is usable on the I phones with their ap.

I don't know if the library has mp3 audio books. I'll have to ask about 
that. They might be playable with One click digital.
I'll ask  a librarian to give me instructions as it can be confusing I 
heard.

When you used overdrive, were all buttons and boxes labeled? To set up the 
account, was that a problem? I'm afraid there may be a captua involved.

Thanks for telling me this info.
Ashley

Hi Ashley.  My local library also has a limited number of audio books
available from overdrive.  It sounds like your library has a much
bigger selection then mine.  However, overdrive is useable, but it
does take some time to learn.  It has been quite a while since I've
tried to access the service.  Just to let you know, if you download
any audio books from over drive in WMA format, these books are
protected, and cannot be played on any devices for te blind.  I don't
know if an EYEPHONE can play overdrive books, but I think it can.
However, if you download any mp3 books, they will be able to be layed
onthe NLS player, or any other blind device like the victor stream, or
the booksense.  Good luck.
