The WMA formatted eAudiobooks contain Digital Rights Management software which prevents a title from playing after the lending period is over. WMA files are also smaller in size and a faster download than the MP3 format. Users can download either format to enjoy their eAudiobook on their computer; however, if you would like to transfer the eAudiobook to an iPod or iPhone, you need to use the MP3 format. WMA formatted eAudiobooks can be transferred to portable devices other than iPods as long as they support this format. Most MP3 eAudiobooks from OverDrive also allow you to burn them to CDs.
