I don't know anything about how ebook lending works. Is it illegal to borrow an eBook from a library and convert it to what works for the person borrowing the book? If the converted book along with the originally borrowed book We're given back to the library, it doesn't seem illegal. The converted book could then destroy the converted ebook if it's illegal to lend it out, keeping the original to lend out again. Could that be considered part of the Fair Use law?

My county library carries way more WMA books than MP3, but luckily I have an extra iPod and BootCamp set up on my Mac, so I just check out the WMA for Windows books. Although one of my favorite authors has not give permission to transfer them to any Apple iDevice.

But, the selection of audio books is much smaller than the collection of digital format books. Is there a way I can download digital books through Overdrive from the library and then have them read out loud?
