Re: Overdrive
Oh almost forgot. They have a huge selection of audio books available through Overdrive also which I love. I can listen to a book while doing something else like my cross stitching. Love both reading and stitching and never have enough time for both of them now I accomplish two things at once.

The only problem I seem to have is with the volue on ebooks -- anyone have a solution for that expect an additional speaker outlet?

Since no one has posted lately -- I still love Overdrive for my Nook. Not only do I usually have close to the max amount checked out at once, I also have the max on hold waiting for others to finish.

- Latest Review: "Double Identity" by Jaye C Blakemore
The only negative I can say about overdrive is that the waiting list is sometimes very long for a particular book or audiobook. In these cases I usually just purchase it. I wish I knew how I could enter other libraries databases. I have tried and had no luck; it usually says you must live in the state or country. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can go about doing this I would really appreciate it. Nevertheless, the app itself is very user friendly.

For more current books, you can use Overdrive to borrow books from the library.

The only thing that really limits this application is the library collection. I had the misfortune of my library branch breaking away from the main website and only provide books they currently had. Luckily, I moved and switched to a better library that was still connected with the main website. My library selections were nearly limitless.
If you haven't installed Overdrive yet, do. You won't be disappointed.
