I get free ebooks and eaudiobooks from library without having to go to building. Since local library is being remodeled right now, that makes it an even bigger plus. I can easily load then clear books off my device. Could get up to 20 though doing that at this time would be counterproductive because there is a limit on time. Before my brain surgeries, 2-3 books read in full a day was normal. Now, not so much. But that's due to my limitations, not the program's. Very enjoyable and appreciated.

3.5 stars because I took an entire point because you can't easily rewind audio books in the app. I fell asleep while listening to a book. I spent a lot of time hitting the "rewind 15 s" button trying to get back. I accidentally hit the "Chapter rewind" and accidentally went back to the beginning of a 53 minute chapter! I then FF about 5 minutes using the "15s Fast Forward" button, the only option to fast forward (besides the "Chapter FF". I have up and had to start the long chapter all over

Easy to use. I can have ebooks and audio books with me 24/7. The "hold" and "wish list" functions are helpful. I like, and regularly use, the usefull search options. Improvements I would like to see are: for search to retain my language preference, and that my "history" is tied to my acct rather than specific phone. Just got a new phone and the Overdrive history no longer shows what books I have read.
