If Amazon cared about library use, they could easily assign a parallel Mobi PID to Kindles; they just choose *not* to.

Since Kindle is intended as a storefront first and foremost its unlikely they'll go out of their way to support library users. Similarly, Amazon doesn't care about ePub enough to go out of their way to kill it. If anything it offers them antitrust insurance.
