FWIW it's easy to make this misunderstanding.

If you look at the Swedish resellers, they have translated the info about Kobo, including how Overdrive can work with libraries. There is no mentioning that there is a geographic restriction.

So, a swede reading the description and buying a Kobo locally would probably think they could use Overdrive for library use. (And libraries are very popular in Sweden for ebooks, thus this could be one of the reason they bought the e-reader.)

(Hmm, I was actually planning to mention this to them, guess I forgot...)

Edit.

Just checked and the largest reseller has actually removed the mentioning of Overdrive. Must have been done recently. I sent an email to another large reseller that still had the info.
