I've worked with book metadata enough (while developing Citematic) to be confident that there are no really good sources.

Available Goodreads extension for Chrome Not a web app, but this is probably better. Only works for Overdrive. It adds "Available on Overdrive" to Goodreads book description pages, bookshelves, and Listopia book lists.
