Yes I connect to Overdrive thru my library to check out the e-books...I think most if not all libraries manage e-checkouts thru Overdrive. I'm kind of in transition from getting most of my books thru used-bookstore sources (either local stores or online) to e-book format preferably. If I'm looking for a book, I will first check if my library has the Kindle e-book. Then if they don't, I will see how much it costs to buy the Kindle version of the book thru Amazon, and if that seems excessive I will go to used book sources. I do half my reading at the gym, and it's SOOO much easier to deal with the Kindle when I'm on the elliptical (the ski-pole type machine) than a paper book!

The library also interacts with an app called "Libby" for audiobooks. I recently tried it out, and it worked...but I don't read audiobooks much anymore since I retired and no longer have the long commute.

My wife likes John Grisham. Right now she's reading a lot of books by an author named Richard Paul Evans. If you like books that are page-turners from the start, and don't let up, you might like Michael Crichton.
