OD is a corporation, it is not a non-profit and does not work for public interest unless it is forced by the people or the market.

Well, OverDrive's business model involves getting people to pay them in exchange for providing software services to the public interest market.
So, congratulations on your successful execution of a tautology.

I naturally try to support local library as much as possible. I do not even mind if the city increases taxes to keep my library independent from corporate take over like that.
I never used OD myself, and I highly discourage my friends using them, for a reason.
