Hello Mobilreaders!

Mike here, and I'm in New England. Primarily using my iPad 4 Retina combined with Overdrive to search for, download, and read mainly Fiction. I joined the forum thinking maybe I'd learn more about the quirks of Overdrive, but I haven't seen any sections or threads yet... but I'll keep looking.

I'm very satisfied with the combo I'm using, and yes, I use ePub format, download the book(s) for 14 days and return them. Usually I beat the deadline of the borrow time frame LOL. I've been reading since I was a kid, now a retired grandfather. Was strictly a real book reader until someone lent me an unsed Kindle, and I adapted. Shortly thereafter I bought got the iPad, and I've read several dozen books on it, no looking back.

Hi Mike and welcome to MobileRead.

Well, make sure to check out [GUI Plugin] OverDrive Link -- very handy if you use calibre, since it can search for books you don't already own that were written by authors in your library.

I never bother to search on the OverDrive websites, since this way is so much more efficient.

Welcome to MobileRead Forum, Mike! This place is pretty cool to talk about books and other things too!
