To download eBooks, audiobooks and videos, library customers must have a valid library card (with no outstanding fines), internet access, and a computer/device that meets the system requirements for the type of material that they wish to download (see supported audio and ebook device section on website). Customers then download and activate free software (available from our website) - Adobe Digital Editions for Adobe eBooks and Overdrive Media Console for Overdrive Audiobooks (N.B. For iPad and iPhone, customers just download the Overdrive Media Console, which works for both ebooks and audiobooks).
Later in the year, OverDrive is initiating major changes to its services, which include: OverDrive Read, which will provide instant access to eBooks on any device with a modern browser; and OverDrive Media Station, which will enable in-library access to eBooks on touchscreen monitors and existing public Intenet workstations.
Answer the following questions to go into the draw to win a prize:
1. Is it possible to transfer Adobe eBooks to an Amazon Kindle?
2. Can a customer download to a USB device?
3. What software does a customer need to download for audiobooks/ebooks? Do they have to activate this software?
4. Can customers reserve eBooks? How do they do this?
5. Can customers renew their eBook/audiobook loans?
6. How many eBooks/audiobooks can customers borrow and how do they return them?
