If you think OverDrive is clunky, give NetLibrary a try.  It's a nightmare.

My views are poor things, but all my own.

As a patron, and a techie, I can say that I really hate Overdrive. 
Sacramento Public Library uses it (California), and it's a very clunky,
confused, and outdated-feeling system (even just the software overdrive
requires you to download).  I don't know anything about NetlLibrary.

Fellow Publibbers,

Overdrive versus NetlLibrary:  which is best for your library?

The  audio ebook “industry” is in flux, and I am not sure which  one of these audio digital companies will acquire the most accounts.

I would like to hear from libraries that have gone through the selection process .  

Can you offer any insights as a basis for discussion?   I have not seen any recent postings on the PUBLIB archives.
