I don't think the OverDrive link is terribly useful, myself. I still had to go to the BPL website to see that 72 people are waiting per copy of The Dry. Should be available in about three years!
At the library I have The Dry on reserve, I'm next. I should get it within 2 weeks max.

What I do is when a book is suggested, I go see what sort of wait list there is at Overdrive so I can try to get it in time if it wins. Doesn't always work but it does sometimes.
