I'm guessing that Amazon has probably helped Overdrive "in a big way" in the U.S. also. By far most eReaders in this country are built by Amazon, by giving Kindle owners the ability to use them, Overdrive has undoubtedly increased its usage by quite a bit.
I think this is only becoming an issue because Amazon has signed a few (very few) known writers to their in-house companies (like Koontz and Kaling).
I think it's a valid issue, but it doesn't affect library users anything like the Big Five issue a year or so ago.
