Hello,

OverDrive does now have full iPad functionality. The OverDrive Media Console
can be downloaded directly from the apple store:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overdrive-media-console/id366869252

Or, from OverDrive itself (select iPhoneR/iPadR on the right):

The user my have to register the device with adobe digital editions using an
adobe ID, they will be prompted toward the end of the installation to do
this.

Here is some news about it from LJ:
