I downloaded Anne of Green Gables from OverDrive. I found it to be amazingly simple (at least as far as downloading it to a PC goes). It's on the lower info desk computer if anyone is interested. I was a bit confused about the way the check-out works. From my understanding, OverDrive lets you download the item, and when it has expired it is no longer accessible: "Once the lending period is over, what happens to the title I checked out? You do not need to return a borrowed item. Once the lending period has elapsed, the title is automatically 'returned' to the library. Although the file(s) will remain on your computer, the file(s) will no longer be accessible." I'm wondering what you are supposed to do if you burned the audiobook to a CD. Do they want you to destroy the CD after the lending period is up?NetLibrary seems like a really good resource as well. It would seem that it has the electronic books as well as audio books--very intersesting.
I must admit, I didn't try downloading anything to a portable devise, because I don't have one. I wonder how much more difficult it really is, because downloading to the computer was really easy.
