The County Council library service already offers an excellent online e-book lending service which lets you “borrow” e-books in EPUB format (This means they’re not compatible with most Kindle readers but are with pretty much any other e-book reader. They should also be compatible with the latest Kindle Fire readers if you install suitable software like Aldiko from the Amazon app store). Now they’ve added an e-audio download service provided by One Click Digital. Just like the e-book service you’ll have to sign up as a library member first. Key features of the service are:

• It’s free
• Hundreds of bestselling audiobooks to choose from
• Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• Compatible with iPod, MP3 players, tablets (e.g iPad and Android) and personal computers
• No waiting lists – all titles have unlimited availability
• Simple ‘One Click’ download process
• All you need is a PC with broadband internet access and your library card number and PIN.
