Do you really expect people to be able to read all the eBooks in 3 or 4 days? I think not. I do think 14 days tops should be it. Forget the 21 days.

I'm not too thrilled with the OverDrive system. I thought I'd see what was available and how long it took to get a book when I was Nook vs Kindle shopping. It took six months for two of the books I wanted to become available. It's never taken near that long when I've put hard copy books on hold.

That's because people know how to return a paper book when they are done. Most do not know that using ADE they can return them early. So they finish reading and whatever time is left is wasted. So if say someone finishes a book in 14 days and has it for 21 days, that's an entire week wasted.
