Overdriveblogs.com writes that after a successful recent beta-testing period, starting today the company is rolling out a DRM-free ebook option to all libraries. Here’s a list of some of the publishers who are participating (although territory issues may impact availability in some cases):
- 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
More from the blog post: “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.”
Update: Here’s an audio interview that Sue Polanka did with Dan Stasiewski, the PR manager at OverDrive and the author of the above-linked post.
