Updates to READS download library!

There has been a big improvement to the READS download library!!!

Nearly all OverDrive WMA Audiobooks in the READS collection are now compatible with the iPod®, iPhoneT, iPod touch®, and iPod nano®, as well as Zune® and thousands of other portable devices, with a simple upgrade of OverDrive Media Console to version 3.2 on Windows® PCs.

Premier publishers, including Random House Audio, Hachette Audio, Penguin Audio, BBC Audiobooks America, Brilliance Audio, Tantor Media, and many more, allow this for all of the WMA Audiobooks OverDrive offers. Best sellers such as Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight," Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers," John Grisham's "The Appeal," and Chuck Palahniuk's "Pygmy" will become iPod-compatible downloads, along with highly-anticipated releases like Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" and Tami Hoag's "The Trouble with J.J."

In addition to enhanced transfer functionality, the new version of OverDrive Media Console also offers several highly requested features, which allow users to:

Send MP3 Audiobooks to the iTunes® Library with Transfer Wizard.
Burn audiobook parts to CD in just a few clicks using Burn Wizard--on all supported Windows operating systems.
Perform a test burn.
Enjoy a new playback option wherein OverDrive Media Console automatically resumes playback from the most recently played point.
Let OverDrive Media Console alert them of software releases and news about the software--automatically.
With iTunes v8.1.0.52 (or newer) in place, use Transfer Wizard to send titles to the iPod shuffle®.
