Re: [apple-iphone] Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?

Sounds like a great program for those who want to borrow books instead of buy them. Problem for me is that there are times when I have lots of time to read and other times when I don't have much or any time to read. Therefore, I buy ebooks. I like owning my music. For me, it's better than paying a subscription fee to rent music. I know kids today listen to what their friends are listening to and when they get tired of it, they like getting rid of it. I'm one of the old people that doesn't tire of listening to tunes over again. I have a large iTunes library and sometimes I'll just go through the list and say "WOW! I forgot I had that. What a great piece."
