“OverDrive’s continuous innovation in mobile user experience expands the marketplace for our library, retail, and publisher partners,” said David Burleigh, director of marketing for OverDrive. “The audiobook app for BlackBerry joins previously released apps for Windows Mobile® and Android^TM, and digital book apps for iPhone® are planned in the near future.”

OverDrive® Media Console^TM for BlackBerry® beta v0.1 provides the same superior audiobook experience as OverDrive’s desktop software, which boasts millions of Windows® PC and Mac® users worldwide.
