Vi har fått svar från Kobo via Göteborgs stadsbibliotek och svar lyder som följande:
Det svar jag tidigare fått från Overdrive gällande Kobos Overdrive-funktion är att det endast går att låna titlar i den som förutom att finnas i bibliotekets katalog även finns i Kobos egna butik. Alltså finns det inte så många svenska titlar, senast jag kollade hade de bara titlar från Saga Egmont.
Kind of makes sense in a way, but in one fell swoop it feels like my reader lost 80% of its value...

This seems to be highly variable depending on your library and the books you like to read. Some people here say it almost never happens to them while others see it more often.
If your Overdrive library has books that are not in the Kobo store, you should still be able to get them by checking them out on a desktop and downloading, then hook up the Kobo to the desktop and use Adobe Digital Editions to transfer the books.
