I agree, it's a shame that eBook borrowing is fragmenting. I don't know what the solution is, however. Apparently Overdrive was charging the libraries too much. I can't see any other reason why they would change. Apparently, in the U.S., it's less of a problem as it "seems like" libraries are sticking with Overdrive more here. I don't like monopolies, but it is nice to be able to borrow eBooks without going through ADE on my computer. My Sony T2s and Tolino Page both have ADE built-in. And, of course, in the U.S. it's also easy to borrow from Overdrive via a Kindle. In a couple months I'll be moving to Boise, ID from DFW, Texas — I've already checked to see if the Boise library uses Overdrive. I do a lot of eBook reading via the library here.
