I live in the European Union, where Overdrive is not much used. Has Kobo decided (behind my back?) that therefore I can never move to a city with Overdrive and that it can never be installed on my Kobo?

I don't really understand this. Perhaps I should look further on Mobileread to see how to solve this problem.

Thank you once again for your advice.
You will only see the Overdrive option if your Kobo account shows you as resident in a country where Overdrive is a supported option. The current list of those countries, AFAIK, is Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Singapore.
