Hello Chris. Overdrive on the Mac is easy peasy and so much better than the IOS Overdrive App. The Overdrive app on the phone is worse than ever and so prefer the Overdrive on the Mac. However, I just download the books from the RNIB Library and let the books extract themselves in the media folder that Overdrive sets up and then copy and paste to my Victor Reader stream SD card. There’s always a way to get round limitations that people set for one to take full advantage of how long one can keep the book or you have 21 days to listen to it before it’s returned to the Library. Is this the same case for the American Congress Library audio service for the I phone tablets and computers?
