When I use The Overdrive software to send a WMA to my iPods, it does get converted, since iPods don't support WMA. I haven't found a WMA book I could not send over.
This may be diffent in the UK. I can't, for instance, transfer WMAs from the German library system to anything but the most obscure players, and old Windows phones that are not being sold any more, because they need to support DRM 10. The German system Onleihe banked on a very outdated format, so now you are basically stuck with listening on your computer, or those old MP3 players if you can still find them. The format is so outdated that it took me hours to install some security patch to Windows Media - one that is surely not even needed any more, since I doubt that the newer versions of WM have that specific security issue that Onleihe identified years ago.
