<div>We use Overdrive for ebooks and audio. They have a pretty good selection, at least for junior high and high. I haven't looked for elementary. Their customer support is good, and the books are easy to download. My students have Chromebooks, and they
usually just listen to the books through the browser. You can also download the app and get the books that way, too. They are expensive, but the prices are set by the publisher, not by the platform. I've heard rumors that Audible is going to come out with
a school license, but I haven't seen anything from the company.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking into purchasing audiobooks for our collection. Do any of you use Overdrive, and if so, are you happy with the selection, price, ease of use? Do any of you use Follett digital audiobooks? What is your experience with them? I looked into Playaways
but found the selection to be wanting and do not feel confident in the shelf life. </div>

</div>
<div>Any information would be greatly appreciated!</div>
