The fate of Overdrive is directly linked to the publishers willingness to continue providing ebooks to libraries. Or, you know, legalities. As this (opinion piece?) shows:

That is just it. Throw a coin if you don't want to speculate whether it is more likely to go yay or nay in this particular case. I believe it is relevant to discuss previous performances and outcomes of whole companies changing ownership.
I agree with what was mentioned previously. A company that is salvageable is more likely to not go under when a big risk company with lots of money invests. Doesn't matter really if it is a VC or PE firm.
