Okay, but we're talking about Overdrive here, not publishers. I don't think Overdrive really cares which authors'/publishers' books are going to move. They know exactly how many of each book they have lent out, so they have all the stats they need on overall borrowing habits right at their fingertips. I'm sure they can easily figure out what kind of books should be featured to drive up the borrowing rate.
