If you are on a Windows machine you need to open rather than save the OMD file. TheOMD file is a small instruction set which points the Overdrive application to your book and makes it available for download within that application.
If you have save the OMD file already you can instead go to Windows Explorer and open if from there and hopefully the Overdrive application will then start. You will have the option to Get Media then to check all the parts for download and finally download the books. You should then be able to locate the mp3 books within the My Media folder which Overdrive will have created in your documents folder.

I'm having a problem in downloading books on to my PC, which, when I did it some weeks ago, I was able to zip to Dropbox and read with Voicedream reader on my iPhone. I have books on my bookshelf,nbut when I hit the download audio button, and select save, I'm offered an ODM file. Anyone got any ideas where I'm going wrong?

I also downloaded a book. Mind you I believe that there was a large chunk of the previous book I downloaded missing which is disappointing to say the least. What set-up are you using and where is the problem occurring?
