Overdrive File Types
Overdrive uses two main file types:

This is probably the most common file type for audiobooks. Highly compressed for efficient use of storage space. Compatible with most devices.
WMA
Microsoft Media Audio file. Slightly larger than MP3 and includes file protection to manage copyright. Not currently Apple compatible.
