dms.....I, too, have an Ipod which I have used for several years.....downloaded free through MediaOverdrive through the Library.....Early this year, it quit downloading. I've not been able to get to the Library to see if it's my device or their program.....I loved the fact that I could download whatever I had ordered, but listen to it whenever I wanted to. I have dry eye syndrome and cannot read print for long periods of time. I do not have a smartphone.
