Best User Experience

“The Transfer Wizard in OverDrive Media Console has made it so easy for our patrons to get material on to their portable devices. I’ve even heard from one particular senior citizen on Cape Cod who is now the star of her bridge club because she knows how to use an MP3 player thanks to OverDrive!”
- Michael Colford, Boston Public Library (MA)

Best User Experience

OverDrive makes enjoying digital content easy for library customers. Your custom ‘Virtual Branch’ website reflects the branding of your existing website and integrates with your existing ILS or LMS, so your patrons know they are using a trusted resource. To check out, download, and enjoy titles, all your users need is a library card and the free digital media software. This software includes Adobe® Digital Editions, OverDrive® Media Console™ or free Kindle® app for Kindle books (Kindle Books are currently available for OverDrive US library and school partners only).


We also offer many other ways to enhance the end user experience with:

  • OverDrive Download Station: Make it easy for library customers to download best-selling audiobooks and music to their MP3 players when they visit the library
  • Device Resource Center: Find devices that OverDrive has tested for compatibility with your download service
  • Accessibility: Making downloads easy to use for blind and visually impaired patrons
