It's the syncing that doesn't work, reading on the Overdrive Read link on the library website, and the Overdrive app on the device, despite the fact that you are logged into both accounts simultaneously on the device app.

You may be logged into both at the same time, but that is comparable to my Firefox browser being, at this very moment, logged into both MobileRead and Google... and then expecting that as a result, MobileRead can read all my emails.

The OverDrive app downloads the book the same way ADE does -- through the .acsm -- but this is made transparent to the user, as all good apps should.
