For the January Task, I read and familiarized myself with the Information given on our Web Page on the Overdrive Downloadable Books, Videos, Music and E-Books. There is a huge amount of information available on these pages which should answer nearly every question a patron may come up with regarding these downloads. For myself, I found the amount of information a bit overwhelming and I divided it into parts to make it a little more manageable. Having done that, it became easier to direct patrons to the parts of information that pertained to their particular question. The Quick Start Guides and FAQs are particularly useful.
I familiarized myself with the popular e-book readers. They look a lot like books to me! Of course, the advantage is that many books can be downloaded onto it and it still only takes of the space of one book, as well as having features like the ability to adjust print size.
I familiarized myself with the Supported Portable Audio Devices as well. Wow! there's lots of them. How nice to be able to have the ability to download so much on a single device.
For starters, I downloaded the Adobe Digital Editions, selected Agatha Cristie's A Caribbean Mystery. It's nice to have the table of contents and ability of downloading and reading parts at a time. Also font size and bookmark features are handy features.
