My library has Overdrive. It's a database of downloadable audio books and ebooks. (Pet peeve: e-audio. Does ANYONE outside of library-land call it e-audio?) Yes, that means that you can DOWNLOAD EBOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY. Which I still think is unbelievably cool.
One of the particular quirks, though, is that you subscribe to the platform, but still have to select and buy each individual title.
Barb was browsing for audio books today, so I was poking at the site.
Um. Apparently, we have Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series. All three of them. As audio books.
I mean, we have 'em in print, too, but audio book? Heh.
(On a totally unrelated note, if anyone wants a Dreamwidth invite code, lemme know...)

Bah, Overdrive's subject headings are a total crap shoot.
