Using overdrive has nothing to do with going to the library except for
initially getting a card.
It's true I don't use BRF files because I am sighted but I have a good
friend who uses BRF files to read books and I know about many of the quirks,
which is why I became a Bookshare volunteer to begin with.
As for what overdrive has that Bookshare does, or doesn't, I couldn't say. I
can say that the overdrive audio books are recorded with real human voices
and not the voices you'd listen to the bookshare daisy files with.
I love to listen to audio books while I'm driving, or on break at work, or
while I'm doing mundane tasks like folding laundry, and even while scanning
books, so I guess that is why I love overdrive.
And again, what overdrive has depends upon your own library. My overdrive
account may offer more or less than another person's overdrive account.
