OverDrive has informed us that some Kindle users may be prompted to ’Buy now with 1-Click’ when attempting to download a Kindle book from the WI Digital Library, rather than being taken to a page to redeem their checked out eBook title. Unless the user wants to buy the title, they should not click this option.
OverDrive is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible, and we will send an update when we have further information.
A message has been posted by OverDrive directly on the WI Digital Library site as well.

Penguin announced this morning that they have made their ebook catalog available via OverDrive effective immediately. This will allow both Advantage account holders AND consortia access to over 10,000 titles.
Penguin’s ebooks are available as a one copy/one user lending model for a one year term. Titles must be repurchased after that time or they will expire.
