For me, personally, I have only found a couple Freading books I want. The vast majority of library books I borrow are from OverDrive (and they have a great selection).
Example: Freading doesn't have Harry Potter, LotR, HHGTTG, or most other popular (Big 5) books.

The other really annoying thing about Freading is that they don't have a Kindle option, and Kindle is a far more popular ereader , especially in the US, where OverDrive enables the Kindle checkout. (I don't know, does Freading even operate outside the US?)
