Last week I noticed an eBook available for US library borrowing, via Overdrive, in EPUB format only. Spending a few minutes at search.overdrive.com, I found two more. The titles:

Crash Out: The True Tale of a Hell's Kitchen Kid and the Bloodiest Escape in Sing Sing History

Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010

Passionate Minds: Emilie du Chatelet, Voltaire, and the Great Love Affair of the Enlightenment

Does anyone have an idea how common this is? Is is a policy issue, or more a matter of human error concerning uncommon titles?

While I like my Kindle Keyboard, if I keep on hitting against this, it will make me jealous of you Nook and Sony (and all other eReaders) people.

P.S. It may be noticed that my three examples are from the same publisher. This may be an artifact of how I narrowed down titles to find examples. Without more evidence, I wouldn't make too much of these being all from Crown Publishing Group, especially because the vast majority of Crown overdrive books are, in the US, both EPUB and Kindle.

P.P.S. I thought of putting this on the Kindle forum here. But Kindle owners, by limiting searches to the Kindle format, may be unlikely to notice what they are missing.
