The Overdrive site is not the final word on what works with their system. It can't. Ebook readers based on ADE come (and go) faster than they can keep track of them.
The way it works is Overdrive set up support for the Adobe ADEPT DRM system and *any* reader that then licenses Adobe's software and SDK can access the library systems. Which means pretty much everything except Kindle and a few oddball products here and there (like Sharp's upcoming reader) will work fine with Overdrive content.
Limitting yourself to the Overdrive list will blind you to a variety of readers that could meet your needs, perhaps better and cheaper than the name-brand models listed. And given your desire to minimize cost...

Just be aware that technology is improving and prices are dropping faster than Overdrive can update their list.
