Overdrive - iPad - epub yes, pdf no - Kindle?
On the iPad, Overdrive only borrows epub books, not pdf. I have to use Bluefire to get pdf books. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So if the Kindle is using Overdrive, then if it can only borrow epub books and not pdf, like on the iPad, it is a bit limiting, if your library carries both epub and pdf.

I'm glad that Amazon is finally allowing lending. Finally. I'm just wondering if the Overdrive limitation on the iPad carries over to the Kindle.

My library (NYPL) has a good selection of epub ebooks but also a fair number of pdf ebooks as well, so the Kindle, based on my assumptions, is still limited compared to my Sony, which can borrow both epub and pdf.
