You can now download library eBooks from OverDrive directly on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Android using the just-released OverDrive Media Console 2.0 app. The first version of the app supported the MP3 format. So now, you can also read EPUB eBooks; you can also create bookmarks, and also adjust brightness and font sizes. Using the "Get Books" feature, you can browse the 'Virtual Branch' website, check out titles, and wirelessly download directly to your device. (In upcoming versions of the app, OverDrive promises additional features such as highlighting, annotation, and in-app text-to-speech.) 

How to get the apps: If you have the older version of the app, you'll be prompted to download the new app. Or, search for "OverDrive Media Console" in the Apple App Store and Android Market.

To search for library ebooks in MP3 or EPUB formats, first visit the OverDrive Digital Library and in the center search area, click on the drop-down menu for "Format" to get started.

OverDrive also promises that apps for iPad, BlackBerry, and other devices are coming soon.
