I think it was Mo who posted a while back that some titles borrowed from the new Overdrive service were jumbled due to errors at conversion to the new format. I have read a few titles without detecting any such problems until I started on 'A History of Eastern Europe', a tome which apparently takes 62 hours at normal speed - or maybe not...
At the beginning of the book, the authors provide a detailed table of contents and then a summary of important events with respective dates before the preface and chapter 1. I found that the reading of the table of contents and the summary was often in the wrong order and some parts were even repeated. Skipping past the irrelevant bits, it soon became apparent that some parts of later chapters had found their way into the first part of the book, rendering the whole thing unreadable. I have advised the Overdrive service in the hope that they will reconvert the book.
Having recently transferred my subscription from Daisy to Overdrive, I am now a bit nervous that I might find part way through a book that there are sections out of order, repeated or even missing. I can't be sure that the next book I read will be correct. Anyone else experiencing this?
