My understanding is that the match is on the ISBN in the two places. I believe you can raise a ticket with Kobo to fix the latter.

Seriously? I had no idea of this. If I understand this correctly, then if my local library's ebook collection includes book A, but Book A is not also available for purchase in the Kobo Store, then I won't be able to borrow it? Or even if it's a different
edition of Book A?
That seriously sucks! What's the point of promising Overdrive access to libraries if what it actually means "Overdrive access to books we can sell you - if we can't it to you, we won't let you see it" Al though, it might explain why the election I was being offered through the OverDrive on my Clara seemed so pitifully small.
