That’s not their fault. Libby / overdrive is what the market offers. If a library wants to loan digital books, that’s the answer. This is a competition and marketplace and monopoly problem. Not a library problem.

That may be true but until a better solution for ebook lending exists, libraries in their current form using Libby / Overdrive is still an enormous public benefit and is a direct service from local taxes that benefits humanity.

I don’t agree with Overdrive’s practices but I absolutely don’t hold libraries accountable for that because they can’t control what the market offers.

Just use your local library and get all the books you want for free and in the most legit way possible. No idea why you feel the need to pirate books.
