iPhone, Android an' Droid Apps: Wireless Access to Public Library Books

OverDrive.JPGOverDrive, distributor of
eBooks, audiobooks, and digital content to libraries and schools, has
released apps for iPhone and Android that enable users to download
library eBooks and audiobooks directly, for the first
time.

The free iPhone and Android apps include a "Get Books" feature that guides users to
their local library's digital catalog of best-selling and new release
titles, allowing them to easily browse, check out, and download.  More than 13,000 public libraries, schools, colleges,
and universities now offer eBook and audiobook downloads via OverDrive,
including institutions in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and nine other
countries.

To download the free OverDrive
Media Console app for iPhone and iPod touch, users can visit the Apple
AppStore.  Owners of Android tablets and phones, including Droid X by
Motorola, Samsung GALAXY Tab, Cruz Tablet, and HTC EVO 4G, can find
the app in the Android Market.  To see if your public library is a member
of the OverDrive network, visit http://search.overdrive.com.
OverDrive's apps for iPhone and Android
give users wireless access to their library's EPUB eBook and MP3
audiobook catalog without a PC.  With the apps, users can create
bookmarks and resume from the last point read.  The eBook and audiobook
titles from the public library automatically expire in the app, so there
is never a late fee.

OverDrive
provides digital distribution services for more than 13,000 libraries,
retailers, and schools worldwide with support for Windows, Mac, iPod,
iPhone, iPad, Sony Reader, NOOK, Android, and BlackBerry.
