Overdrive ebooks are DRMed (or at least the majority of them are).

Overdrive primarily uses Adobe's DRM system. You can "liberate" the titles with the use of the DeDRM toolset or get the resources directly off their "libby" platform, which simply requires reassembling the assets into an EPUB

I know you can break it, but this is in response to someone asking a question about how to buy DRM-free ebooks.

Looks like some people are forgetting the first rule of Fight Club.

It’s not too hard to break this DRM. My library lets me ‘borrow’ ebooks and sometimes they are due back and I haven’t finished them.

It’s so ridiculous.
