That's not correct (at least in Canada). I downloaded an OD book on the weekend.

It's a bit of a good news/bad news story on the integration. The setup and once you sign the book out are very easy and work well. However FINDING the book you want to sign out is trickier (as mentioned by Nate). The interface is literally the Kobo store. So what it does is shows you under the book details whether a book you select is available to borrow from your library. I assume it does it that way since it then only has to check individual books against what your selected library carries rather than having to get a list of everything your library has. Finding the book gets a bit tricky if a book has multiple editions in the Kobo store since you have to go through the details page of each of them to find out which one your library carries.

The workaround is as Nate suggested to sign it out on your library/overdrive site and then sync it (haven't done it that way my self yet, but I believe that is supposed to work).
