[OPLINTECH] Ebooks and Digital Readers

[Nicole Merriman]

OverDrive's Download Station can only handle downloadable audio. It's my understanding that OverDrive is working to include download ability for ebooks on the Download Station. I'm not sure that this will help your patron, but patrons can download using library wireless access, if using their own laptops. 

Cordially,

Nicole

Hey,

I have had a couple of patrons come in and try to download ebooks off of our "Download Station" that we use to interface with the Ohio E-Books Project. The problem is that it only downloads audiobooks.  Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you setup your computers to allow downloading?  The patron that brought up this subject was trying to use a Sony ereader PRS-300.

Thanks,
