Yes, unfortunately. I think Overdrive requires a newer certificate of some kind. I know that the Nook had issues with Overdrive books (fixed with a release specifically for fixing Overdrive) and that Kobo quit working on Overdrive for a day or two and that was somehow fixed (must have been at a server level because I don't think there were any device updates for it). Apparently Tolino anticipated the issue because release 14.2.0 came out before the Overdrive change and (as far as I know) the Tolinos never quit working. PocketBook also fixed it for the InkPad 3 in a recent firmware update but they seem to feel no urgency at all to fix it for the majority of their eReaders. This is one of the main reasons I bought a PocketBook (both for Overdrive and for the ability to work with .ascm files from online eBook stores — the second part, from stores, still works). Since I use Linux Calibre's, new plugin (DeASCM) which came out just at the right time I have that option now (since I've never been able to get ADE to work in Wine) — it allows me to download ePubs (with DRM) and then DeDRM does the rest. But I would rather be able to just directly borrow books on the PocketBook, which had become my "norm" for Overdrive.
Sorry to ramble.
