Digital circulation tops three million, putting Toronto in first place among library systems.
Toronto's press release seems to assume that OverDrive is the only e-book lending provider.

Besides Axis 360 and Cloud Library I also use Freading and Hoopla. Many libraries have these providers in addition to the larger ones and they have grown to have pretty good collections of books that are less well covered by the larger library providers. For example Hoopla has many comics and Freading has the Open Road Media catalog. Both of these services have no waiting lists for borrowing.
