**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.
OverDrive app can delete it (it's called "rm %s" or "del %s") but only from the app. I assume if you have it on an MP3 player, or in your downloads folder, you must delete it yourself, hence the prompt.
