Hello Josh,
Overdrive uses the same audio files as Audible. So, rather than
buying or paying a subscription for a commercially released title,
one can simply borrow it from the public library for up to 21[days.
Given that the NLS now also has access to these same commercially
released titles, I suspect that the gap between the NLS BARD book
system and the commercial audio book system will continue to get
smaller; however, I find that very often, it takes the NLS much
longer to make said titles available on BARD.
While I appreciate Audible, I see no need to pay for that which the
public library system can provide for free. Mind you, this is not a
proverbial hand-out, it is simply taking advantage of a system that
has been available to our sighted counterparts for decades.
Personally, I spend a rather large sum of money purchasing those
titles that I wish to add to my permanent collection. While I
usually buy them from Apple Books, I have no fewer than 20 or so
from Audible; books that are truly dear to my heart such as Alex
Haley's Roots, read by Avery Brooks.
It really comes down to the fact that now, more than ever before, we
as blind and low vision readers, have choices.
Mark

I'm just curious why people want to use overdrive. I know people
use all kinds of different services. I suppose that if your library
has access to a large audio book collection it might be a good option.
I'll use bard and audible as well as bookshare.
