I am thrilled to find that my very own Williamson County Public library possesses a membership in overdrive.com’s library lending program. I have this service inside of Microsoft for business books and training materials, but to know it is available to the general community is fantastic. Thanks to my pal, Cindy for letting me know about it a couple of years ago.
I just checked out two books from the library from the comfort of my own home.
The desktop client allows you to transfer your audio books to your portable player. Mine works on my Zune HD 64gb without a hitch.
You will need the overdrive client and an active library card number if your library participates. You can find out more information about your local situation from overdrive.com
The software works on Microsoft, Macintosh, and about every major portable device:
