They're checked out using a different system because overdrive itself is so expensive. I've had at least one other service contact me that was looking for books for libraries, but again, it's hard for them to get off the ground. And the easy pick is to try to find a publisher that will put an entire catalog in the program. They all want the big 6-indies are just a bonus, but they want big names or lots of books to get going.
