Download ebooks, eaudio and evideo

AADL is participating in a consortium with other Michigan Libraries to offer ebooks, eaudio and evideo to our customers. There are presently limitations in both the quantity of titles available and with the compatibility of eaudio with Macs and iPods.

Ebooks

Ebooks are digital versions of print books for on-screen reading on your computer, PDA or any reading device. Please note that our ebooks are viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 or Mobipocket.

Eaudio

OverDrive audio books are downloadable to PC/laptop, burned to CD, or transfered to a portable device such as a mp3 player. All downloadble content is DRM protected. A full list of DRM compatible devices is available via the OverDrive web site. Browse eaudio books that are always available...

Evideo

OverDrive Video titles use the Microsoft® Windows Media Video format, for desktop viewing and portable device use. Please note that OverDrive video requires high speed internet access. Browse the video list

Unfortunately, our current eaudio and evideo product is only compatible with Windows, and cannot be played on an iPod.

At this time, OverDrive Media files cannot be used on iPods, iPhone or Mac computers. Our media titles, provided by OverDrive, Inc., use DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection technology from Microsoft. Unfortunately, the iPod (and Mac) currently support neither DRM-protected Windows Media Audio (.wma) files nor Windows Media Video (.wmv) files. OverDrive, along with hundreds of online media providers, is hopeful that Apple and Microsoft can reach an agreement that would enable support for Microsoft-based DRM-protected materials on the iPod/Mac.
