Number 25, the Overdrive Collection

I must admit I haven't ever spent the time browsing the Overdrive Collection. I didn't realize that it included video and music. The music collection looks like it's primarily classical music, and I don't understand what happens to the music after you download it to the mp3 player. Does it just disappear after 21 days?

The video collection includes mostly old movies, instructional and children's titles.

I didn't realize how big the book collection is...there are 325 pages of listings. I tried searching a few favorite authors, but didn't find any listings, so I decided to browse. Again, I wasn't aware of the scope--it includes chidrens and non-fiction titles! I guess I should've known this, but I have always thought of it as a collection of Adult Fiction

I was a little disappointed that the presentation didn't show how the actual downloading process looks, using Overdrive. I might download it at home and use it--I've seen demonstrations, but I don't think I'll ever learn to do it, until I actually done it a couple of times.

We'll do our best to put together more detailed instructions once we know which mp3 player we'll be getting for everyone...
