Public libraries can now offer eBooks by authors such as Barack Obama, Dean Koontz, and Christopher Paolini to their patrons. OverDrive, a digital book distributor to public libraries, has arranged to offer Random House, Inc. titles in both Adobe PDF and Mobipocket PRC formats to its network of library partners. In this non-exclusive agreement, more than 6,500 Random House eBooks have been added to OverDrive's e-warehouse, supplementing OverDrive's collection of more than 100,000 eBook, audiobook, music, and video titles. Libraries can add Random House eBooks to their OverDrive-powered collection by logging into OverDrive’s collection development portal.
