As a long-time user of NetLibrary audiobooks, I was disappointed when this service was replaced by Overdrive. The downloads were marginally easier for new users, though I had mastered the NetLibrary downloads so this was not a selling point for me. Looking around the Overdrive Digital Media Collection for this project, I see that the collection has grown but there are still very few titles immediately available. Most that I would have downloaded have 1 or 2 other patrons waiting for them. One thing that wasn't mentioned is that there are now links to many of these titles right in the catalog.
Following the instructions, I listened to the excerpt from Fahrenheit 451. The excerpts are a really nice feature since the reader can make or break the recording.
Found an early Harry Bosch mystery which I had not read and would like to listen to. The description is pasted below:
For LAPD homicide cop Harry Bosch -- hero, maverick, nighthawk -- the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal.The dead man, Billy Meadows, was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who fought side by side with him in a nightmare underground war that brought them to the depths of hell. Now, Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city to the torturous link that must be uncovered, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.Joining with an enigmatic and seductive female FBI agent, pitted against enemies inside his own department, Bosch must make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, as he tracks down a killer whose true face will shock him.
Maybe if I win the MP3 player I will give it another shot.
