Download eBooks and audiobooks from your library directly to your Windows Phone! OverDrive Media Console gives you on-the-go access to eBooks and audiobooks from your public, school, or college library. More than 18,000 libraries worldwide offer best-selling and classic titles via OverDrive, so use the 'Get Books' feature in the app to find a library near you.
Digital titles from your library are borrowed just like print material. Once you find your library using 'Get Books,' you can browse your library's digital collection website in the app, check out a title with a valid library card, and download the title directly to your Windows Phone. While borrowing the digital title, you can enjoy it using the app's eBook reader or audiobook player. Each EPUB eBook and MP3 audiobook that you check out has a lending period. The title automatically expires in the app at the end of the lending period, so there's never a late fee. There's even a handy countdown clock built into the app so you know how long you have to read or listen before the title expires.
What happens if a digital title is already checked out? Just like with physical material from the library, you can join a waiting list. All you need to do is enter your email address and you'll receive an alert when the title is available for check out.
Don't want to wait? Many libraries offer thousands of EPUB eBook downloads that are always available. Just check for the 'Additional eBooks' link at the bottom of the digital collection homepage and you can get a free eBook from your library that's yours to keep—without a lending period.
You can also download DRM-free EPUB eBooks from other online sources using 'Get Books'.
Want more books? Contact your library and let them know that you are using OverDrive on your Windows Phone and would like to see additional titles in the digital collection.

    Great app, opens the world of reading wide open.

    It's better on the android. Slow on windows phone and the interface I'd not as good, not as "page-like."
  • by Charles 5/23/2013
    Apart from a little difficult to navigate, it otherwise great for reading on my Nokia 8100
  • by Akshay 5/23/2013
    Simply a stellar app, and a great experience. Apps like this, are why smartphones and tablets exist!

    The audio books are great on my walks.

    It freezes up doing playing audio book. Need instructions when you have to go to. Next part or chapter on smart phone. Hard to get book back to listen to it before returning book. Otherwise like it because I'm not a reader person I'm a listener.

    App decent, a little cumbersome in the interchange of books from library but works clean

    I drive a lot for work. This works so well, being able to "read" books, as I drive. Love the navigation and selection of libraries and books. Best app like this on the web.
