Purchase Overdrive subscription?
Hi,
My mother in law is getting a Nook for Christmas (hope she's not reading this!) and I want to get her a subscription to a library with Overdrive access. Several libraries (like Seattle) offer non-residents the ability to purchase annual library access, which would probably work. But I was curious if any knows whether Overdrive will sell you access directly. thoughts? -- James |

Hi, James. Overdrive will sell you individual books for a fee (like a bookstore, not a subscription). But if you want free library books, then you have to get them directly through a library website. You can check to see if your MIL has a library nearby at this link.
http://search.overdrive.com/ Free Library of Philadelphia is a popular source for non-residents to purchase access. You might want to check it out. I haven't tried it myself since my local library has a good selection, but it is frequently recommended by others on MobileRead. http://libwww.freelibrary.org/register/getcard1.cfm I hope your MIL enjoys her Christmas gift! |

Hi there,
Thank you very much for the tip. $15/year for a non-resident is a great deal. Exactly what I was looking for. cheers -- James |
