Too convenient.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it is a matter of public record that the BPHs aren't happy with Amazon for *not* ghettoizing indies and Overdrive, unlike Amazon, is utterly dependent on the BPHs for their survival. They *can* be pushed around.
I doubt we'll ever get a clear answer to the burning question: "What were they thinking?!!" Or, "In what world is segregating a collection of books deep behind hidden menus meant to 'highlight' them?"
But, absent a straight answer I will have to default to "Somebody made a phone call."
