I'll have to double check and get you exact instructions when I get home but I basically download the book from my library's online site. So then you can see it when you have open the Overdrive Media Console. Then I basically just click transfer and I think it pops up with a box that lets me pick what device I want to transfer it to. And I click ok and then it takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the audiobook. I don't remember ever getting a Protected error before. But I'll double check when I get home!
