Over Drive Media Console
OverDrive Media Console is a free application developed by OverDrive, Inc. for use with its digital distribution services for libraries, schools, and retailers. The application enables users to access eBooks and audiobooks borrowed from libraries and schools—or purchased from booksellers—on devices including iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone. The software is also available for Mac and Windows desktop and laptop computers.
In October 2012, Barnes & Noble added the OverDrive Media Console app to the NOOK App Store, enabling users of NOOK Tablet, NOOK Color, NOOK HD, and NOOK HD+ to download eBooks and audiobooks directly to the devices. The OverDrive app is also available for users of the Kindle Fire in the Amazon Apps Store. Also in October 2012, OverDrive released OverDrive Media Console for Windows 8, which supports devices running Microsoft's Windows 8 and Windows RT operating systems.
Reviewers have rated the OverDrive Media Console app among the best eReading applications for Blackberry, iPhone, and iPad.
OverDrive Media Console supports different formats on different devices, including EPUB, PDF, MP3 and WMA.
It is worth noting that Windows Media Audio (WMA) content is ONLY supported on the Windows version of the OverDrive Media Console. This dramatically reduces the number of titles available to library patrons who use portable devices or Mac computers.

“Practically everyone now bemoans Western man’s sense of alienation, lack of community, and inability to find ways of organizing society for human ends. We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity—advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
