This is a huge bummer. I wonder if maybe a consortium of some of the biggest library systems in the country could band together and make a platform that they control to use instead. It seems like libby/overdrive is only going to keep getting worse and more predatory.

Something has to be done to regulate these leveraged buyouts too. Providing no real value and then just vandalizing and destroying companies.
