There was already a title in my bookshelf – an audiobook with a short introduction to using the OverDrive Media Console. I could have the app remember my library card to make my subsequent “trips to the library” easier. I confirmed that Greensboro was in the list, and entered my library card number. Apparently many library systems in NC banded together to form the NC Digital Library so they could pool their resources.

You can enter address/zip code information for your library, or you can search by country/state/city to find your location. Now you’re ready to find your local library you need to know before you begin that a valid library card for your library is required. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you can create one. This must be done if you want to read EPUB files that are protected by Adobe digital rights management, as all library books are. When you start the app, you’re prompted to authorize your reader app with your Adobe ID. (My aging eyes prefer to read on the bigger screen.) All the images in this review are screen shots from my iPad 2.

The app was free, so I downloaded it and decided I’d give the local library another try.Īs I mentioned, OverDrive is a universal app, but I decided I’d download it to my iPad 2. I had given up on borrowing library books until recently when I posted about the OverDrive Media Console universal app for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad. When the Sony readers started supporting borrowing books from libraries, I checked to see what titles were available in the Greensboro library – basically none.

Most public libraries didn’t lend ebooks back then, so I eventually resigned myself to purchasing everything I wanted to read. After writing code for 9 hours/day for many years, you can imagine my wrists were shot, and I loved ebooks because they weren’t as heavy and hard to hold as a physical book. I’ve been a fan of ebooks for many years, starting with Peanut Press books on my Handspring Visor Deluxe back around 1999.
