[Lee]:
Yes, NJ has one and I've used it a fare bit.  The files are ".WMA" Overdrive
files; they run in Windows Media Player, and the Overdrive format is very
interesting as it has it's own manager plug-in which shows you the page
you're on, chapter, etc., allowing you to skip back and forth quickly.

The Overdrive books are licensed to the libraries in limited quantity, so if
you order a title for download, it's like placing a hold at your local
library.  In other words, if all the library's licenses for that book are in
use by those who have downloaded it, you'll need to wait until someone's
expires so you can get it.  The Overdrive manager keeps track of how long
you've had the book and will expire it at the end of the borrowing time.  Be
aware that some books will say that you are allowed to burn a copy for
yourself; there's a Nero plug-in which will allow you to burn one copy.

Hope this helps in Steve's quest for poetry.  Smile,

Lee :-)
