From an OverDrive Digital Library Blog:
For the past few months, OverDrive has been beta testing DRM-free eBook distribution in libraries. Today, we’re excited to announce that all OverDrive-powered libraries can now add DRM-free eBooks to their digital collections.
To coincide with the launch of this new functionality, we would also like to welcome new publishers who are providing DRM-free eBooks to libraries in OverDrive’s global network:
- AMG
- Bold Strokes Books
- Books to Go Now
- Carina Press
- Gideon Informatics
- Joe Konrath
- KBS
- Microsoft Press
- O’Reilly Media
- Rock Nook
- Romance Divine LLC
- Rosenfeld Media
- Sher Music
- Simonelli Editore
- TidBITS
- University Press of Colorado
- Wildside Press
All DRM-free eBooks are available under the one-copy/one-user model, which means you can add a copy to your collection and one user at a time can borrow the title from the library. Just like all other OverDrive-supplied content, the titles will be borrowed for a set amount of time and when that lending period is up, another user can check out the title.
