I don't usually read ebooks or listen to any audiobooks so this was a bit of a new experience since all I ever done before was explain how it works to others. I found it a bit hard to move around, and search found nothing when I limited it to formats but found the books in a general browse. Placing a hold on a item was easier to do than if I wanted to place a hold for a book in the collection. All I had to do was type in my library card, where as if I wanted a book from our collection I would have had to type in my library card, last name and phone number.
I did download an audiobook and had to update the overdrive and windows media player, which I was surprised was very easy once I understood what to do. I could see where someone not as techaware as I am would be a bit confused but if they read the screen and click on what it says it becomes very clear. The bookmark feature was neat, now if they could do that for all media types.
I know this is the way of the future in reading and listening, just not that into right now. I do see some electronic readers I would like to try but haven't gotten to that point yet. I could see in the future, if not now, a reader that plays both ebooks and e-audiobooks.
