the legalities of eBook publication, royalties, sharing and payment continue to be worked on... Penguin appears to be making a statement against Amazon's Prime Kindle Library lending assuming that is the security breach mentioned when they pulled their Kindle titles (new releases) from Overdrive.

My library is changing from Overdrive to something else on December 5. Unfortunately, it wipes out anything we had on Hold or on our Wish List ;(

Susie, will you still be able to get library books on the Kindle?

Ann and Amy...I'll let you know what system they are switching too. Supposedly, it's going to be better than Overdrive and should have Kindle books too! I'll bet you still have to wait forever for them to become available.
