Then it will all be over the internet.

Yes, there are two libaries in our county that purchased Overdrive. I want to go get a card to download audio books. The library that I retired from does not have it.

I love Melcat
http://elibrary.mel.org/ You can also search for any book in the state of Michigan and it will be delivered to your library (non digital copies of books) I have done this many times Its a great tool. Someday I hope to have a reader. How many of you with Ipad type readers use them as a reading device? Is it just as easy to download? I'm leaning towards those that have the keyboard docking stations.
