I realize this is a "golden oldie" post, but I'd like to chime in.
The Amarillo library consortium has had Overdrive for at least 4 years. Last year, it added 3M Cloud to the digital offerings.
Couldn't access my Overdrive account in Amarillo last week. Tried several times to no avail. Called the library and was told they decided to drop Overdrive and just offer 3M. "Overdrive just wasn't working out in Amarillo". I agree that the waiting times were very long. However, to me "long lines" mean that something is very popular. My guess is that this was simply a cost cutting move for the city.
No real problem because Houston (10X the population of Amarillo) offers free Overdrive to all Texas residents.
The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded for over a century. Literature is indeed a fine art. It's too bad that a skate board park can trump the library in the city budget.
