They still haven't made their "security issues" any clearer (nor explained how removing their older titles—in the Kindle format only—made them somehow feel "better" about those "security issues").

If they want to stop allowing all of their new titles (or all of their older ones) to be available to the Overdrive lending program across the board... fine. That's their call. I don't agree with that either, but at least it would seem more consistent with "having serious security issues" with ebooks in general... rather than the blatant bullshit that it actually was. Because frankly, the idea that their existing titles were somehow more vulnerable (security-wise) in the Kindle format than they were in the ePub format is ludicrous.

You want to pull out of the Overdrive lending program and join the other houses who don't want to play? Fine. Do it. But just do it across the board and don't invent a bunch a CYA hoohah about "security concerns" that can be somehow lessened by denying (only) Kindle users access to all of your current (and older) library titles.
