Thanks Barbara, but it was more of a patience issue, grin. This morning, the book was fully downloaded. I tried an eBook today that was a Kindle, but will need to try that again since I didn't click on the Amazon link. The Overdrive app is vastly improved from when I last tried it a few years ago. Nice to see they are taking accessibility seriously.

I know that some libraries are offering ways to get library cards online at this time. As for the ebooks, many of the ebooks are available in a kindle format. You borrow them and then check them out through amazon. Those are accessible through the kindle app It is really easy to use. You could also read them on a tablet. The other format offered is an epub ebook. That is not accessible unless you have software to convert it in to an accessible format. anyway, you just double tap on a book in the overdrive library page then double tapp the word formats or available formats and you should see what formats are available. Richard, what issues are you having with downloads in the overdrive app? Perhaps I can help. I use this app all the time. Sometimes you have to redownload if the download does not download correctly the first time. You do this in the files section on the main menu. Just tell me what issues you are having and I can see if I can help you figure it out if you want. On Apr 2, 2020, at 3:34 PM, Richard Turner <[email protected]> wrote: Yes. You also need a local library card to a public library I believe. This is the way local libraries are distributing their books electronically. I do not believe their eBooks are accessible, but the audio books are. Depending on your library, you check them out for up to 21 dyas and then they disappear and if you are not finished, you can put a hold on it and when it becomes available again, you will be notified and can download it then. I am just trying to get it to work myself. And while I got a book checked out downloading it hasn't gone smoothly. Time will tell.
