The NH library system is using Overdrive for it’s audio books, as are quite a few others, like the Rio Grande system here in Albuquerque. The bad news is that you can’t download to an iPod, at least not without a LOT of work. Because of the DRM, it won’t cooperate with iTunes (or is it the other way around?). Some books, oddly enough, will let you burn to a CDR. In that case, you can burn CDs, then rip them in iTunes. Gets pretty boring after the first couple of disks. I suppose you might find a burner emulator, so you can the whole thing on disk, but I gave up before that.
