That seems like a really huge expense.
Maybe I missed it, but is this US only?

It's not currently known how this will be implemented. Maybe Amazon is adding epub support; maybe they're sending their own ebook files through OverDrive's DRM system; maybe it's something else. We'll just have to wait and see.
Libraries will not be required to purchase azw specific licenses according to
this announcement to libraries from OverDrive:

Your existing collection of downloadable eBooks will be available to Kindle customers. As you add new eBooks to your collection, those titles will also be available in Kindle format for lending to Kindle and Kindle reading apps. Your library will not need to purchase any additional units to have Kindle compatibility. This will work for your existing copies and units.

Yes, for now, this is U.S. only.
