Cleveland Public First To Offer Epub Ebook Downloads

摘要

Cleveland Public Library is the first public library to offer eBook downloads in the industry standard EPUB format. Readers at both Cleveland Public Library and CLEVNET member libraries can check out and download EPUB eBooks from the library's download Web site. The EPUB files are optimized for the Sony Reader and can also be read on a PC or Mac with free Adobe Digital Editions software.rnMore than 8500 libraries powered by OverDrive (8555 Sweet Valley Drive, Suite A, Cleveland, OH 44125, 216/573-6886) are now able to offer eBooks in the EPUB format, along with more than 150,000 titles in audiobook, eBook, music, and video formats, many of which are compatible with both Mac and iPod.rnPatron-defined lending periods will also be available for the first time. This new feature allows libraries to offer a variety of borrowing options, such as 7-, 14-, or 21-day lending periods. Fast readers can now select a shorter checkout time allowing them to borrow more titles from their library.
