In my personal life, I absolutely *love* Overdrive. I've never experienced
any glitches with the Overdrive app, though I have with the Axis 360 app on
my phone (to be fair, that was a while ago). That being said, in our
school, I went with Axis360, the platform used in eReadIllinois, because it
is so very cost effective. My school is very small, and my budget tiny.
With eRead Illinios, I can provide our students access to thousands of
books. Without it, they'd have access to very few.

A downside is that everyone shares the collection. Hot titles do tend to
have long wait times. However,  If you have funds, you can also purchase
popular titles in an unbound collection as well. If you are wondering about
the cost, try the fee calculator at ereadillinois.com.
