General Notes on Device Compatibility
While OverDrive WMA titles can only be transferred to portable devices that support DRM-
protected WMA files, OverDrive MP3 titles can be transferred to many different portable
devices including cell phones, PDAs, and most MP3 players. These devices have tested
successfully for use with Digital Audiobooks. Icons are displayed for each device to indicate
which type of Digital Audiobook the device supports.
We are continually evaluating new devices and will update this list accordingly. If your
device is not listed here, it might not have been tested. Please see the List of Known
Incompatible Devices for more information.
Please note that differences in device firmware, the software on which portable devices
run, make it possible for two similar devices to have different results in regard to
compatibility. Manufacturers will often release firmware updates that may expand or
limit device functionality. We recommend checking with manufacturers for the latest
information on device firmware and file format support.
For further assistance, or if you would like to report a working device that is not listed
above, please contact support@overdrive.com. Please be sure to include your device's
