You should also check with your local public library and see if they have
the service or Net Library which does the  same thing.

Is there a list of what states are participating in Overdrive?

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.  For lovely eyes, seek out the
good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.  For
beautiful
hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk
with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

Phil,
 
This is a program provided by only select regional NLS libraries to their
patrons.  It is not a national program.  These libraries have decided to pay
Overdrive's fees to provide this service.  some regional libraries have
decided not to pay the fees and join the program.  Consequently, blind
people in those states are not able to use this service.  
 
the Overdrive books from this service can be converted to MP3 using Sound
Taxi.

   I suppose you all don't know  about the unabridged project. In short it
is a web sight where blind persons who are receiving books from the national
library service can sign-up to download digital books. I have been let to
believe these books are in what is called wma format and, well, our bookport
won't play them.
