Of course, no Overdrive.

Virtually all libraries have the James Bond books, in paper only because of Amazon, as a publisher, not cooperating with Overdrive, or 3M, or Axis 360. Most paper copies were purchased before Amazon got the rights, but I'd like to see your evidence that libraries refuse to replace copies as they wear out.
I apologize I was talking about Amazon books in general.

I meant to say the pbook of Amazon exclusive titles in general will not be purchased by OverDrive and bookstores, the same way Amazon then refuses to offer the ebooks to OverDrive.
