Leslie, you cannot just paste an overdrive book onto the Zen stone player. overdrive and windows media player have to handle the transfers because the books are licensed to your computer for a specified period of time, usually 21 days. if the publisher allows, you have the option of burning a compact disc of your book, or transferring the book by means of the wizard to a DRM compatible player to listen to the books from overdrive. the books may remain on a portable player as long as it takes for you to listen to them. if you paste from the portable player back onto your hard drive after the book has expired, no dice, you may not listen to the book without renewing it from overdrive.
