As a librarian, I honestly find this idea to be laughable. Libraries deal with a number of vendors, OverDrive being just one of many. Baker & Taylor is the primary p-book vendor for many, if not most, public libraries and yet no one fears they're dominating libraries. In terms of e-Books, I think publishers are way more of a concern for public libraries since they are the ones who set the prices and term limits for e-Books. Also, there are other e-Book providers besides OverDrive. OD isn't perfect but I really don't think they're going to take over libraries.
