PENGUIN GROUP TERMINATES ITS CONTRACT WITH OVERDRIVE

摘要

In a stunning move, Penguin Group has extricated itself from its contract with OverDrive, the primary supplier of eb-ooks to public libraries. As of February 10, Penguin no longer offers any ebooks or audiobooks through OverDrive. "We are continuing to talk about our...plans for ebook and digital au-diobook availability for library lending with a number of partners," said Erica Glass, Penguin media relations manager. Penguin is negotiating a "continuance agreement" with OverDrive, so libraries that have Penguin ebooks in their catalogs can continue to access those titles.
