Hi Carol
I am sure something will be worked out for that, (smile).
As for using them on the Sense, you won't be able to download them directly
onto it from the website as it opens the Overdrive Media Console which
doesn't work on the Sense. You will have to download from your PC and
transfer onto a card.
In order to purchase Overdrive, you will need to go to the online shop,
register if you haven't already, then purchase it. You can't apparently buy
it through Customer Services!
Once RNIB get in gear and send me my log-in credentials, I can download a
book, but I can't do that until they send me the necessary Email.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

They should expire though, or everyone could just pass them on ... <Smiles>
