Ann,
I use Sound Taxi to convert Overdrive books, but my version will not convert Audible books. What version do you have? 

By the way, after a year of use I've never had an issue with Sound Taxi.

Thanks and regards,

Don...
PS: For Texas residents, Overdrive is now available to all qualified library patrons. Check with your local library.

Sound Taxi can be had from:

Don't know about TuneBite, as the last time I tried it, and that was a long time ago, it wasn't very JFW friendly. But, sound Taxi converts just about anything from Napster to Itunes to Audible files to, almost whatever.

Sandy,

You have to use a utility like Sound Taxi or tuneBite to convert them.  I
can't recall the links for these programs but a quick Google search will fix 
you up.  --Warmest regards,

Robert, you mentioned converting Overdrive books to MP3, so that they could be transferred to the Bookport. I have Easy CD-DA Extractor. When I tried converting them, I was given the message they could not be converted, because of the WMA DRM copy protection. Does anyone else have any ideas how I can convert the books?
