The OverDrive App on my iPad is a great knitting/sewing companion. It is easy to download audio books, and the time I spend knitting and sewing flies by. I'm able to get more done when my mind and my hands are occupied.  OverDrive is associated with my local library, and my library card allows me to check out the books for 14 days.  The App works on my phone and my iPad and the two devices sync to keep my place in the recording. I can checkout ebooks, audio books and videos with the OverDrive App. Recently, I've "read" the following books:     "C" is for Corpse - Sue Grafton     Don't Go - Lisa Scottoline     If I Stay - Gayle Forman     Bullseye - David Baldacci     The Devil Wins - Reed Farrel Coleman     "G" is for Gumshoe - Sue Grafton     Goodbye Things - Fumio Sasaki     The Dead Will Tell - Linda Castillo Does your public library give you access to audio books via an App?
