I find it really interesting that Overdrive has had that clause in their contracts about the portability of content for all this time, but apparently no guideline or procedure for exercising it. And now that they actually have a viable competitor in 3M, they're trying to remove it.
It will be really interesting to see if the major Publishers who allow digital lending will be on board with this. I know I've heard concern from our librarians here about increasing investment in digital content (Overdrive) with no protection against unreasonable fee increasing and weak protection in regards to permanency of access.
