I would point out, as some of the commenters did when this came up on Boing Boing, that nothing whatsoever in Overdrive’s actual announcement says they’re going “DRM-free.” In fact, the Overdrive announcement has been updated at the top of the page to say:
Quote:

**UPDATE: MP3 audiobooks are still being borrowed, and users are prompted to delete when the lending period is over. Titles still expire in the OverDrive app at the end of the lending period.**

That strongly suggests there will still be DRM of some kind.
