i discovered overdrive a few years ago and love it. as you may have noticed from my last post, i can listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks while i work in the back room so i go through a number of audiobooks. i also have a handheld (pda) that i enjoy reading from so i keep it stocked with e-books as well. as for MyLibraryDV, i saw that this past fall and have watched a few things using that. unfortunately, i have a slow computer at home so i haven't used that nearly as much as overdrive.
this time i decided to try Tumblebooks. i think like it most because you don't have to download software for it - something that takes patience and a computer you have administrative access to. the fact the books were interactive was also interesting. between puzzles, comprehensive questions, games and coloring i could see how kids could really enjoy all the different activities they have available. there was also a nice selection in both english and spanish. it was a very easily accessible resource that i'll recommend when parents come looking for thing for the children to do on the internet.

I hope you'll take the time to do one last post for thing 23 and share what you've liked or not liked about the program.
Thanks for sharing about Zoomi -- I was not familiar with it and it offers all sorts of online browsing potential that I'd love to see in our online catalogs.
