Quite a few have switched as their contracts with Overdrive come to an end. I have library cards from five local authorities in my bit of England, and four have switched to Bibliotheca in the past two years.
Thanks for the information.

Surrey are still in the throes of the change over so I will have to wait and see how it all works out.
