Don't see Overdrive as a problem.
The publishers do limit which books are available on overdrive and libraries pick and choose based on local criteria. Overdrive DID make the decision to hide self-published books behind a special tab. Librarians have to know how to order them and care enough to go look for them (that will please some and displease others).
