Hi Jackie,
Yes that's correct. You could download your books onto an SD card to use with
your player, then once you have read your books you would need to ensure that
they were deleted from your SD card, to avoid keeping them on a permanent basis
(as stated in the service terms and conditions).
Best wishes,
Louisa.

As Louisa is subscribed to the list, she might be able to clarify this
issue. During the trial, I could return a book once I had finished with it
using the PC, but I couldn't transfer the title back using my SD card, it
wouldn't allow me to do that. So I put the card in my reader when I had
finished a title, and deleted it manually as the Stream didn't let me delete
it. So if you use an SD card, it looks to me as though the title will
remain on it whether you delete from the OverDrive Media Console or not.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie,
I think it does matter. If you never return your books, you'll only get
six. I seem to recall you can only borrow six books at a time, and the
system will use returning as an indication that you may borrow another book.
Or am I over complicating things?
All the best
Steve

Hi Carol
It didn't indicate the two weeks were up. I went to the site and ordered
another book, and saw the expiry date on my previous download that it had
expired. Hopefully there will be some sort of indication that books are due
to be returned, but why this is necessary in the first place seems rather
odd to me. Once you have the book on your card, it doesn't matter if you
return it or not!
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Did the book on your SD drive expire and indicate that this was the case, or
didn't you leave it on the card long enough to find out?
