I couldn't figure out where to post this, so I decided it must go in the General Discussions forum.

I downloaded a book from one of the Overdrive digitial libraries this morning. It took longer than normal for it to load into ADE, but it came up eventually. I moved it over to my Calibre library and thought to check the file size. All the rest of my books are somewhere ~.5MB to ~2 or 3MB max. This one was 45MB. I figured I see how the new OMC app for the iPod handled something that big so I used it to download a copy directly to my touch. It took awhile, but loaded.

When I started reading the book, I got 10 pages or so into the first chapter and turned the page and Chapter 2 pops up. Chapter 1 was not finished. So I tested Chapter 2 and the same thing happened.

I call my local library and they said to write up an email and they'd send it along to the Overdrive people because they'd be the ones to figure out what the problem is. Hmmmm....

Anybody else seen something like this?
