Then again, Overdrive may not keep Adobe DRM. It seems to me to depend on the ubiquity of whatever drm all those readmium folks decide on/develop. If they come up with something the industry supports, and if that product does not have to run (at considerable cost) through the Adobe servers, we may see a change.
Google is using the readmium scheme for it's epub3 chrome extension. ACCESS, Aldiko, Bluefire Productions, Baker & Taylor, Benetech, Bokbasen, DAISY Consortium, Datalogics, De Marque, DILICOM, eBook.de, Eden Livre (a joint venture of Gallimard, La Martinière and Flammarion), Editis, Evident Point, Feedbooks, Firebrand Technologies, Hachette Livre, IDPF, Izneo, Kobo, LIA (by Italian Publishers Association), Mantano, Numilog, Rakuten, Sony Corporation, TXTR, and Vibal Publishing House are readmium members (
