I noticed earlier this year when I wanted to download Hilary Mantel's The Mirror and the Light, it was available only in epub and OD formats. Well, I only noticed after I checked out the book. So I made a go of it reading it on my laptop. I gave up after about 50 pages. I checked back a few weeks later and the book was/is available in Kindle. I figured there must be some publishing deal to delay library availability in Kindle format? Are the 3 books you checked out new?

Are you referencing Overdrive btw? The above happened on OD and with two library systems.
