That's a bit sad that they think that. Apparently they are not training their support people very well. Then again, over drive makes money when you check out the book from the library... not when you read it.

Does Overdrive make money during checkout or when the library purchases the ebook? If the latter, then I'd think that every Overdrive library would have a lot more books available for checkout, or at least in more formats.

I don't "know" what it is, but I expect a combination of both. Overdrive sells the library the book and also charges for DRM services need when books are checked out. If could be a per-month fee or per hit fee. Someone that actually is involved with OD as a library would have to give us the scoop.

have you authorized your 505 with ADE? I don't think you can do it on a MAC. You'd need to do it on a Windows system and then I think you might be able to use your 505 with ADE for the MAC.

If you re-read his posts he states:

"I have no difficulty reading other ADE books that I bought from Diesel books."

So those wouldn't work if the reader wasn't authorized. Unless they are not DRMed, which I doubt.
