To download the audiobooks, you will need Overdrive either on your tablet, smart phone, e-reader, or computer. Personally, I recommend downloading Overdrive on your PC or Mac because the files are rather large. You can transfer them to iTunes or burn them on CDs. Once you download them, they are yours forever - no returning!
