The books won't be available until sometime later this year. And no one has released any concrete details that I'm aware of.

Reading the blurbs from Overdrive, it almost sounds like they're trying to come up with a single (universal?) format for library users, though -- one that will work on all ereaders, all operating systems, all 'devices'.

Right now, my local libraries only partner with Overdrive for audiobooks (.mp3 and .wma) and use ADE for ebooks, using the formats of epub, mobipocket and PDF (mostly epub now).
