Jim McCluskey installed the Overdrive Console for me months ago, so I'm an old hand at this. I can't speak to how hard it was to install since I didn't do it.
I've mostly used the audio book section. The selection of titles is pretty good. I don't really have favorite authors, so I haven't noticed much about the author selection. I've probably listened to at least parts of 10 or 12 titles. If the title is not available @ the time you place the hold, you will be notified by E-mail when the title becomes available. It's really a no-brainer. The only downsides are that you tied to the computer to listen and my attention tends to wander from my Sno-Isle tasks when listening to an audiobook.
I am really not too into classical music, so I haven't used the music section much. I see that they have added some non classical titles recently, but I didn't recognize the artists. I'm more into classic rock and folk music...that old 60's stuff. Yes, I am a Baby Boomer.
It's also nice that they have What's New, Staff Suggestion and Recently Returned sections to help you make selections.
