are digital
versions of popular fiction, non-fiction and Pimsleur language
titles that you can download and listen to on your computer or portable
listening device. (Due to licensing issues the Netlibrary Recorded Books and the Overdrive WMA Format do not work with
the iPod. We have just added Overdrive MP3 Format which will work with iPods)
