I just want to say, 3M does use Adept.

Libraries purchase ebooks from different distributors—including OverDrive, 3M, and Freading—and each distributor delivers ebooks in different reading apps. But a multi-vendor aggregated reading app is possible. DRM technology does not require a vendor-supplied platform for ebook reading. In fact, because all of our vendors use the same “Adobe Digital Experience Protection Technology” (ADEPT) system for DRM, library ebooks could be delivered to a single app, like our theoretical Book Bench app.
