Actually, it isn’t Simon. Overdrive only accept files of a certain size and
compression ratio. So this isn’t RNIB’s fault I believe. It’s the Overdrive
system.
All the best

not sure what version of overdrive you are using then, as have found it very
easy to use this end.
I will say the sound could be better, but that is down to RNIB compressing the
files too much, not overdrive itself.

Overdrive is so fiddly and I never use it since the introduction of Easyreader.
One of the comments I heard was that it is even envisaged that people might be
able to read their RNIB Talking Books via their smart speakers. For people who
aren’t very tech savvy, this would be a great way for them to access their
books.

We are supposed to be seeing a new online library delivery system within the
next few weeks. I can't say I will mourn the end of Overdrive.

Hi all,
I am just wondering if RNIB is still adding new books on the Overdrive? I can
only find few books added on the site recently.
Can anyone recommend me some other alternative libraries that I can get audio
books?
Thank you
Ali
