I have to be upfront and admit I'm listening to books nowadays rather than using my e-reader. Just easier on the eyes for one thing and listening opens up quite a few more hours for books.

Ok, having admit that--I sideloaded a MP3 file of Bring up the Bodies to my android phone. I was hoping to use Overdrive to play the book but OD did not show the book on the bookshelf. So I'm just using my music player app to play the book. It works...but not having the bookmark feature is a drawback. If I listen to a music file, I lose my spot in the book.

Any recommendations on how to make sideloaded books compatible with OD? Barring that, recommendations for audiobook apps that accept sideloaded files? Thanks.
