Hi all,

> I'm interested in hearing about people's experiences with Overdrive,

> books.
>
> * How accessible is it?
>
> * Can you easily navigate through a book (i.e., jump to a page or 
> chapter, read by character, word, etc)?
>
> * Can you select and copy text? for example, if I check out a book on 
> Benjamin Franklin, can I copy some information for a research paper I 
> want to write?
>
> * Do you have to pay to use it, or is having a library card enough?
>
> I plan to test the software myself as part of my research on making 
> libraries more accessible with Google products. I've done a little 
> reading about Overdrive, but I'm curious about real-world experiences.

> Thanks.
