Does overdrive have only audio books or regular books, too?
@penquin probably depends on your library but mine has plenty of normal books on there.
@penquin to clarify, yes, it has loads of standard ebooks on there but it's up to your library how many copies, if any, of anything in the catalogue to make available. My library usually has about 3-4 copies of anything popular and you get them for two weeks, but you can delay the hold if your turn comes up and you're busy reading something else. If anything is crazy popular they will review and make more available to reduce the waiting time.
Thank you
