I agree that seems more likely. And Amazon could probably dictate any terms they wanted with Overdrive, not the other way around, if Amazon saw a marketing advantage in doing it.
Still not clear what business advantage Amazon really gains by supporting any format other than their own. (I can see the advantages for ebook diehards, of course).
