Thing 22

no Ellis Peters on Gutenburg Project but Bobbsey Twins made it

there were some Irish language titles

lots of Shakespeare as expected

was pleased, but not surprised, to see Treasure Island (CCPL's On The Same Page Book VI) was available here
downloaded Treasure Island from WorldeBookFair.com

checked out sponsors: DPP Store for independents authors and publishers - could provide alternative resource to Marina'd bocd, authors list useful; sponsor Baen scif/fantasy resource; looked up cadfael on Ask.com and Monument Valley on Internet Archives.com;MobileeBooks for cells and QOOP selling stickers and posters

Overdrive Digital Media Guided Tour tutorial gave me info I didn't know:title'll be held for 1 day for you to download;smart choice of library users in photos by making the people decidedly not geeky looking;good description of DRM after download you may enjoy title wo Internet connection
listened to IntrotoNetLibrary: Noted downloading differences for computer and device(use Cd option);honest about drawbacks of manually requiring you delete files and no iPod capability

registered in Overdrive and successfully downloaded The Archer's Tale
by Bernard Cornwell and pt one of Crocodile on the Sandbank
The Overdrive process isn't really hard but... if only there was one click from the title in the catalog to an ipod
