"Entire eBook Catologs to be Available for Discovery, Sampling & Links to Booksellers"
90% or more of the eBooks in the WIN catalog are not available in libraries for lending.
Libraries who show Overdrive's WIN catalog will "earn affiliate fees for all sales referred" from their website.

It would be wonderful to see a video of the ALA's birthday convention. It is always nice to keep up on important dates that pertain to the library world. I am definitely excited about the ebook and Overdrive. Being rural I have a PLAC card. Where the public library that I purchased my card from does not participate, the library that I performed my practicum in does. It will be wonderful. I am yet waiting to see a final version of merging the reading device with tablet. When this happens I think that I may make the change over. At this point I am not thoroughly convinced that I am missing anything.
