Pure speculation on my part, but as popularity spreads and new libraries are brought into the Overdrive system, changes are made to the way books are made available? As this is a relatively new business, I would expect them to constantly be refining what they are doing and finding more ways to make money.
Also, from a money making POV, I recall from other threads that there is limit to the number of times an ebook can be lent before the license must be renewed, 26 lends if I am recalling correctly. If one library that participates in sharing already has this title, and it is a popular title, the money made in renewing that specific license may be greater than the money made when bringing a new library into the system, especially if there is some initial discounting going on for new libraries / customers. (hope that makes as much sense as it does in my head)
