My guess is she is counting the audiobooks, music CDs, and videos which total about 9000 titles. Also there is the always available public domain titles to consider. Currently about 4500 of these non-ebooks are available.

Added: If any library doesn't add content, then Overdrive usage may not increase and may even decrease as patrons exhaust their wishlists. For Overdrive to assume such large increases they may be using incorrect data. There is a finite usage number.
