Out of curiosity, I went to the Sumter site, downloaded Axis360 and checked out an ebook. Axis seems to be very slow and it's not much of a reader. Very few user options and you can't even change the page color to cut back on glare. On the Google Play Store, Axis gets a 2 out of 5 star rating - one of the lowest I've seen. I did get an icon for Axis on my Android home page. I hope the Philadelphia library doesn't adopt Axis. Overdrive is much easier.
I have lots of free books from BookBub but I still like to read the latest from some authors. Since I cannot use the library for eBooks, I will go back to the real books for those authors.

I guess one of my problems with this switchover - no one was notified.
