Even if they aren't paid "extra" under the table so to speak, the big publishers charge MUCH, MUCH higher prices for their books--and since Overdrive gets a percentage of that sale price, they make more money of those types of books. Sure, the libraries buy less books, but overdrive can do like a airport--list the best sellers, scoop the easy money off the top and not work very hard at it. Then if they want to expand and make more money, they charge the little guys for "exposure."
I shouldn't type that. They might get ideas.
