I've noticed that employee-owned, red white and blue, W. W. Norton (repeatedly mentioned in your link) is less likely to make their titles available as library eBooks than those multi-nationals.

Is the Overdrive selection at the average US public library worse than than what was available to the average US serviceman in World War II (W. W. Norton titles excluded)?
