I have just read it is possible to transfer RNIB Talking Book Library
membership to the Overdrive service. I would like to do this and have just
emailed the RNIB. My subscription is paid for by the local authority but I
believe there is no cost difference between the services so presumably there
shouldn't be a problem. Has anyone else requested a subscription transfer?

Just to clarify, is the book still playable after the expiration date?
