website Good e-Reader reaped returns of librarians from across the United States, complaining that a large majority of new ebooks available via OverDrive is not paid to the Kindle format. Obviously, through the most famous digital ready solution on the market, publications compatible with the Amazon reader mainly come from small publishers and not the major houses?
Recommendations the time in Overdrive
As for key lending of ebooks and audiobooks in American libraries, OverDrive service has the largest market share. It is also the only solution that makes available to the loan e-books to Kindle format in the country.
The librarians wishing to expand their digital loan offer have gravitated naturally to this almost indispensable player. In the beginning of 2015, hundreds of new titles were made available there, but only 51 of them in Kindle format, all works of independent authors and small publishers.
As a result, Good e -Reader wondered if the major players in the publishing industry, such as Hachette, Simon & amp; Schuster Penguin or deliberately avoid the format of Amazon when it comes to providing loan offer digital libraries.
When the question was put to him, David Burleigh, director of marketing and communications for OverDrive, argued however that the majority of ebooks “ is (or will be) compatible with the Kindle.
