Will Jetbook Lite work with my public library's Overdrive system

I see that you mention that the new firmware for Jetbook Lite will be released later this month, will that then make it able to work with my library's Overdrive downloadable ebooks?

Here is a link to the formats that the library says Overdrive uses

I am interested in buying the Jetbook Lite for my two sons (ages 13 and 10) to do their daily reading on. I will mainly be using it for books from Gutenberg/Internet Archive, but if it is also able to utilize the library books that would be great.
Plus, I am having a hard time resisting the sale at Newegg this weekend on it.
