Most Downloaded eBooks and Audiobooks from Libraries (via Overdrive), December 2009

From the Intro:

Sue Grafton's “'U' is for Undertow,” the 21st Kinsey Millhone mystery, jumped to No. 2 on the adult fiction audiobook list and No. 6 on the eBook list in its first month of release. However, it was Dan Brown's “The Lost Symbol” that topped both the adult fiction audiobook and eBook lists, making the international blockbuster the most downloaded title for the fourth month in a row. Digital books by Dean Koontz, Nicholas Sparks, Michael Crichton, James Patterson, and Kathryn Stockett were also among the most downloaded books from the library in December.

The ‘Most Downloaded Books from the Library’ lists are organized by subject and format, and compiled based on activity at more than 10,000 libraries in the OverDrive global network. Complete lists for audiobooks and eBooks in adult fiction, adult nonfiction, juvenile fiction, and juvenile nonfiction are available at www.overdrive.com/mostdownloaded.
