OverDrive adding ebook samples   no comments

Posted at 10:45 am in Library ebooks,Random

OverDrive now offers samples of thousands of its ebooks that are available through public libraries.  The samples let patrons read up to 10 percent of a title before joining the queue for it.  This might help shorten waiting lists as readers can see if a book is one they really want to read before checking it out.

If a sample is available a ‘Sample’ button will appear under the ebook’s jacket photo.  There are also samples available for some audiobooks, but I believe these have been in place for awhile.
