Hi Christina, Yes, the Mac Compatible OverDrive software can be downloaded from: http://overdrive.com/software/omc at the "Download OverDrive Media for Macintosh button"
That information, and also the search instructions, was given in the link to the archived post listed at the end of my message: "General Instructions on OverDrive downloadable audiobooks" http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg05166.html Incidentally, I'm not linking to the Google Groups page archives, but to the secondary Mail Archive site, which is a simple format, uses plain text, and is great to read from. It also supports access key shortcuts so that you can read down and up threads by pressing Control+n for the next post and Control+p for the previous post. (If you do that, you'll find the correction that the shortcut for the Preferences pane for OverDrive is Command+P, just like all other Mac apps). I have used this software more recently, though, and this may be of interest to you for your kids. Last summer there was a general audiobook reading promotion by publishers at the Audiobook Community young adult group called "SYNC", where they offered two free audiobooks each week over 2 and a half months in an effort to encourage audiobook listening among children. These were all excellent productions that paired classic titles with contemporary audiobooks using similar themes. For example, there was Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" released with "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, and "Oliver Twist" by Dickens paired with "Handbook for Boys" by Walter Dean Myers. All these titles were issued as free, OverDrive Media MP3 files, with licenses that never expired. The web page was: http://www.audiobookcommunity.com/group/sync I don't know whether they will repeat a similar promotion this summer. HTH.
