The issue for using WiFi is that the books you are borrowing using the libraries Overdrive service have Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) DRM and have to be downloaded through the ADE program on your desktop. If Adobe issues a version of ADE that will work directly on devices, library borrowing then might be able to be done over WiFi.
Hm. Intresting. Bookeen claims that you can borrow library books directly from Orizon. As long as the reader is authorized by ADE. Might be a future feature, though.
