Overdrive is the maker of Readerworks, a Microsoft Reader .LIT compiler. Yesterday they announced a partnership with Palm Digital Media, formerly known as Peanut Press, "outlining their intention to expand global digital distribution and retail marketing of eBooks in the Palm Reader(TM) format."
"OverDrive plans to integrate Palm Digital Media's DRM technology and eBook catalog into its suite of eCommerce solutions, including MIDAS and Digital Kiosk -- turnkey retail systems for the secure distribution of eBooks through the Internet. OverDrive would be the first distributor to offer and support eBooks in the Palm Reader format through Content Reserve, OverDrive's B2B digital content network serving more than 400 publishers worldwide. Palm Digital Media currently has an inventory of nearly 5,000 titles from leading publishers, including HarperCollins, Random House, Simon & Schuster, St. Martin's Press and AOL Time Warner Book Group."
Good news for ebook readers. Have I ever mentioned that I really like the Palm Reader DRM system? :-)
