OverDrive--leading digital media services
eBooks

With a Digital Library Reserve platform, your library can go where your patrons go. Digital eBooks are the perfect choice for the train, the waiting room, the classroom, or the café. In fact, eBooks are great anytime, anywhere, because patrons can enjoy them on the devices they already carry.

Choice of Formats

OverDrive offers eBooks in two formats. Adobe® PDF format is ideal for representing the richness of print. The text of a book along with its charts, forms, graphs, illustrations, or photos, can be downloaded and enjoyed on desktops, laptops, Macintosh OS, PDAs, and PocketPCs. Compact and easy to print, this format is a standard file type that has been a staple of Internet document delivery for years.

Mobipocket format is optimized for the handheld reading experience. This format allows patrons to download and enjoy eBooks on devices with smaller screens. Supported devices include Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Blackberry, and Symbian OS phones.

Choice of Titles

With a Digital Library Reserve platform, your library purchases individual titles, so your selectors can choose the same best-selling books in "e" versions as they purchase in print. Harlequin, HarperCollins, Scholastic, Time Warner, McGraw-Hill, NOLO, and many more supply their hottest front-list titles and their back-list gems. With more than 40,000 individual eBook titles from which to choose, there's something for everyone.
