OverDrive Audiobooks

Downloadable Spoken Word Audio Recordings

Spoken word audio can make a long commute seem shorter or an exercise routine more invigorating. With OverDrive's digital content management solutions, you can offer your customers or patrons downloadable audiobooks in the formats that will have them coming back for more.

Download audiobooks from OverDrive are available in the DRM-protected OverDrive WMA Audiobook format and the OverDrive MP3 Audiobook format. Available at select retail locations and coming Summer 2008 to libraries, OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks can be transferred to Apple® devices such as the iPod®, iPod Touch, and iPhone™. Utilizing the free Windows Media-based OverDrive Media Console, downloaded audiobooks are easily played, transferred to compatible devices, or burned to CD (when allowed by the publisher).

Audiobooks in the WMA format are protected with dynamic digital rights management to control unauthorized sharing. With OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks, users can listen to spoken word content on mobile devices, including iPods, without the concern for compatibility. Both formats work seamlessly with OverDrive's fulfillment system for libraries, schools, and retailers.
