Borrow eBooks From Libraries With Your iPad

I have an iPad, my dad has a new Kindle. I'm looking forward to trying out some ebooks at the library.

A Review of the OverDrive App for Borrowing eBooks - WSJ.com: "Get out your library cards: Now you can wirelessly download electronic books from your local library using the Apple iPad or an Android tablet. Last week, OverDrive Inc. released OverDrive Media Console for the iPad, a free app from Apple's App Store. With the app, you can now borrow eBooks for reading on the go with a tablet. You can already borrow an eBook from a library using an eReader, including the Sony Reader and Barnes & Noble Nook, but you'll need a PC and a USB cable for downloading and synching. Amazon's Kindle doesn't allow borrowing eBooks from libraries. For the past week, I borrowed and wirelessly downloaded digital books onto tablets primarily using OverDrive, the largest distributor of eBooks for libraries. I tested the OverDrive Media Console for the iPad. I also used the Dell Streak 7 tablet to test the app on the Android operating system; this app also works on Android smartphones. An iPhone app is available."
