Not to turn this into a library thread but this is the main criticism I have about libraries and particularily the Overdrive service. The main point of a library isn't the volumes, it's the organization. Lumping everything into a catchall category is doing everyone a disservice. Being able to find what you are looking for is the prime reason we need libraries. Otherwise you get what we have now, a ton of books, all marked for the same category and a massive disappointment.
I'm quite sure that there's very confused people out there where you go into the stacks and come back saying there's nothing to read but damn vampire novels and all they can see are miles of books.
