James: I have found the process of downloading audio books and streaming video to be a great service to the community, especially for my eight year old who figured it out before Dad did!
James: Searching for and downloading audiobooks on this site is confusing and cumbersome. The process needs to be improved. James Georgelis
Greg: I love being able to download books but the website needs a remodling. It is not intuitive in the way that the better web sites are. Searching for books is confuising and the checkout,request,hold process is odd. Signing in with card # is frustrating.
Bernard: @Marilyn_Smolka Overdrive, the software the library uses to provide you with e-media will work on both the Barnes and Noble Nook as well as an iPod Touch. Feel free to check out the Supported Devices Page at http://www.overdrive.com/resources/drc/
Marilyn: How about the Nook (from Barnes and Noble). Can I download an audio book on my iPod?
