It's been a while since I've used OverDrive. I stopped using it once I
got the ability to download BARD books and play them on my NLS player or
my Booksense. I only used it to play audio books. I didn't use it to
play books in text. I found it very accessible. It didn't cost me
anything, since I was using it through my state's library system. We
also have it available here at our local library, and again it doesn't
cost anything other than getting a library card.
