August 19, 2013 | Sandra | Comments (0)

On August 20, the OverDrive eBook service released a new version of the OverDrive Media Console app for Apple and Android devices.

What's new in version 3.0

  • A new design
  • The ability to sync bookmarks and reading progress across multiple devices using an opt-in registration service called OverDrive One
  • Enhanced help features, including in-app help and guidance for new users
  • The ability to share what you are reading or listening to via email or social media
  • Variable speed playback for eAudiobooks. Listen at a speed that is most comfortable for you (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch users only)

 

Here's a preview of what the new version looks like:

 


If you already have OverDrive Media Console installed on your device, you will be prompted to update, or it will happen automatically depending on your device settings. To install OverDrive Media Console, or for more information, visit http://omc.overdrive.com
