Audio and e-books from the ACT public libraries

This is a really interesting development in the ACT public libraries. They have a range of about 400 audio books and who knows how many e-books which can be downloaded from the library website.

The files have a little DRM on them which means that they self-delete (or something) after 21 days and need to be played with a particular player (Overdrive). They are all WMAs as well.

Still, it’s pretty interesting to see what’s available.
