it's never easy (Score 1)

Isn't it a bit ridiculous that for a modicum of DRM they can manage to make this so completely difficult to use for "readers"? Look at my case: MP3 CD player in the car, iPod in my pocket. Library offers books via the Overdrive Media Console, which allows me to either burn to audio CD, listen on the computer, or transfer the files to an MP3 player (not an iPod). Besides that long set of steps above, I can either burn each book to it's 18ish CD's, or listen to it on my computer... Great! Thanks a bunch for nada. On the average I listen to a CD based audiobook in the car every week. I was really looking forward to being able to download them, but I guess until Apple and MS can get down to agreeing on DRM (and the devil wearing mittens) I'm out of luck.
