That's much better than the mobipocket ratio. There was only about 1/3 of mobipocket to EPUB. Did you notice that the mobipocket option has disappeared.

Everyone, here's my analysis of the situation:

Also, I was able to open this book on my Nook Color and my iPod touch, using the Kindle app, without any problems. |

What won't work is trying to get a Kindle book through the OverDrive app on my Nook Color or iPod touch. Only EPUB is supported.

I looked at both of the libraries where I can access Overdrive, but they don't have the Kindle link up yet. I wonder when the rest of the libraries are going to add kindle? I'm so excited that we finally get library access.

Probably after it's Beta. AND, more importantly, when they decide to spend the time and money to do so...and some can't or don't want to.

When who decides to spend the time and money to do so? I'm on our library board and we've been told this will cost nothing additional at the Library level.
It is a change that Overdrive is rolling out .... not the library. |
