1. E-Books & E-Audiobooks
Overview

2. The Help Menu
has many valuable
functions. It
should be your
first stop if you’re
doing this for the
first time. There
are how-to videos
and FAQs.
Note that with
MyMediaMall’s
recent facelift,
familiar tasks have
been altered.
Most notably, the
Search and My
Account buttons
have moved to
the top of the
page.

3. Click on Device Resource Center to see what formats are compatible with your device.

4. In addition to Browser-based reading, e-books can still be downloaded and transferred using
Adobe Digital Editions or delivered/transferred to your Amazon Kindle.
Download Free Software to manage downloads and transfers.

6. We always
want to sign
in first. The
sign in link is
at the top of
every page.
By signing in,
you get to see
content
exclusively for
Wilmette &
Kenilworth
Cardholders.

7. Now let’s
execute a
search for
content.
I always
recommend
doing an
“Advanced
Search”
because we
can limit our
search to
formats
compatible
with our
device.

8. Choose a subject or format compatible to your device.
Note: You can even limit your search to what’s available now at the bottom of
the advanced search screen.

9. This is our search results screen. Take note of the icon in the upper right hand corner
of the books. These icons differentiate between e-books and e-audiobooks.
Note: A black icon indicates an item is available, a gray icon indicates an item is
checked out.

10. Note the important information in the right hand sidebar. It notes how many copies are
available in what formats.
Click the blue “Borrow” button to check out the book.

11. Once you borrow the book, you are taken to your bookshelf. The Bookshelf can be
accessed at any time by clicking the Account button at the top of the page.

12. Click on the download button, and you can choose your format. Choose wisely. Once a
format has been selected, it cannot be undone.

13. In this instance, I have selected an EPUB format to work with my Nook. EPUB books are
downloaded and transferred using the free software Adobe Digital Editions.
NOTE: The EPUB e-books only understand to “Open with” ADE. They will not work if you
save them to your computer first.

14. Download Free Software to manage downloads and transfers.

15. I have
plugged in
my Nook,
and it
prompts me
to authorize
my device
with my
Adobe ID.
When you first launch ADE, you will be prompted to authorize your computer with an
Adobe ID.

16. Getting an adobe ID

17. When I plug in my Nook, it will appear in the left hand pane. By clicking on the gear icon,
I can authoze my Nook with the same Adobe ID.

18. I can transfer downloaded titles to my Nook by right clicking on the book cover.

19. I can return or delete the downloaded book by right clicking on the book cover.

20. Clicking “Get for Kindle” will reroute you to Amazon. Amazon manages the
lending of the Kindle books available through MyMediaMall.
Clicking “Get Library Book” on the right hand side will prompt you to log in
with your Amazon ID, choose your device, and deliver the content via WIFI.
Note: Kindle Books can be returned by visiting the Manage Your Kindle Page.

21. Let’s try the audio version now. I search for Gone Girl and selected the copy with the
“headphones” icon.
NOTE: MP3 and WMA audio formats are vastly different. Check the compatible device list
to see what works with your set up.

22. Audiobooks only open with OverDrive Media Console. They will not work if you save the
file to your computer first. You must choose to “Open with OMC.”

23. OverDrive Media
Console manages the
download and
transfer of

you want to
save your files
to.

25. Your audiobook
will download in
parts. This can
take a long time,
especially if your
book is long.

assist you in
transferring to
your device.
