Overdrive

Overdrive is a great idea! I haven't really used this service, but learning more about it has been enlightening. I think that if you can find something that you want/need, then the Overdrive books are great. But the selection is a bit slim and many people find the incompatibility with Apple products frustrating. If they could work out that issue, I bet more people would be inclined to use it.

In looking through the titles, I decided that I would look at the titles that are always available. Also, as an audio book neophyte, I decided that listening to something that I've already read might be a good idea. So I listened to the excerpt of Emma. Listening to the witty banter of the characters adds a new dimension to this classic. I will try out more audiobooks in the future!!
