How do I listen to the audio Ebooks?

[mayflowers22]

Do I need the Overdrive app? I've checked out an audio book from the library and now I don't know how to listen to it. Any help would be appreciative.

You probably need to download Overdrive assuming that's what your library uses. From there depending on the book you'll be able to listen on your computer, transfer to your phone/mp3 player, burn to cd etc.

You do need the overdrive app. I don't know about anybody else, but I can only listen to MP3 files on my iPad and phone. If I have to get the audio book in the WMA format I have to download it onto my desktop and transfer it to my iPod.

Yep, me too! I actually was looking into this the other day and I think that maybe Iphones can listen to any format of audiobook. But on my droid I can only listen to the MP3 version. Unfortunately, my library seems to mainly have WMA format so generally I download the audiobook to my desktop and transfer to my ipod. Which I really don't have any complaints about, I think using my phone all the time would probably run my battery down even more and some days I barely make it through the day with enough battery as it is!
