On the previous Overdrive-going-to-the-dogs thread, I tried to defend them, but this is indeed unfortunate.
Who are they trying to impress? Publishers? Librarians? Themselves?
Not being conspiratorial minded I suppose it is what they say -- that they are trying to stay current with the move towards small tablets and smartphones. But I still like the model of picking out books on my PC and reading them on an eInk device.

The reason to use search.overdrive.com is that you have multiple library cards, as happens in states like Pennsylvania and New York where local libraries often give card to residents anywhere in the state -- or if you have purchased out of area cards.
