I'm fairly certain you can only play Overdrive MP3 books on the iDevice. WMA is a Windows format, and also, the files have a lot of protected content, so may not play in anything other than Overdrive without self-destructing. I hope I'm wrong, though. I can't test it, since you can only use Windows to transfer the files, and I don't have access to that application.
