OverDrive on iPad 2 comments
On its blog OverDrive says that it has completed testing of the company’s media formats on the iPad. Audiobooks in MP3 and WMA formats can be loaded onto the iPad by using either the OverDrive Media Console for Windows or the Mac version. As for borrowing ebooks from your local library the blog post notes that “As of right now, the iPad does not currently support the eBook formats (Adobe PDF, Adobe EPUB, Mobipocket) supplied by OverDrive.”
Update: OverDrive has released new apps for the iPhone and Android that will support ebooks.
Update 1/8/2011: At CES an OverDrive rep told me that a version of the OverDrive app optimized for the iPad should finally be out by the end of Q1 this year.
Update 2/15/2011: OverDrive released the iPad app today.

Works, but not ideally. Text is scaled for the iPhone screen, and it becomes slightly blurry when you use it at full iPad resolution. Sincerely hope Overdrive will release a native iPad app.
Oversrive now works in Ipad. you can download the Ityunes App to Ipad and then download Adobe Digital Editions DRM protected library books, obtain an Adobe ID, intsall it on the Overdrive Ipad app and then download and read your library books.
