To answer your question, Amanda, I've never tried Overdrive on
the Apex, but I doubt it would be accessible. Ashley, when I use
Overdrive, I always just use it on my iPhone, because I found
that easier than a PC. It takes some work, but I found the
service very accessible for playing MP3 audiobooks. At my
library, I can check out 7 books at a time, and you can hold them
for either one week, two weeks, or three. You can also place
books on hold. In fact, I'm enjoying an Overdrive audiobook right
now. :)

Can I use overdrive on the apex to read ebooks with my
Braillenote
apex from my local library?
Thanks,
Amanda

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.

Hi all,
I have a public library card and use it to access its databases
that jaws
will read without too much hastle as well as recorded lectures
on cd and
sometimes hard copy books. Iâve used regular books with a
reader for
school
research.
Iâd like to take advantage of an audio book streaming service.
It also
let's
you stream evideos.
Is overdrive accessible to a jaws 16 user with a windows 7 pc?
Overdrive is the libraryâs software you download to stream
these e audio
books and e videos.
Iâd really like to use it because they have so many audio
books. What is
cool is you can check out ten books at a time with no late
fees.
I still use NLS, but its my experience NLS does not have the
latest books
out there or many of the nonfiction books I want to read and
Iâve heard
overdrive has a lot of history books.
Thanks for any ideas.
Ashley
