I would love to see an agreement between Overdrive and Amazon. I envision a server-to-server interface and a checkout option "Send to Kindle".
Amazon could then format shift (MobiPocket and ePub) if needed and encrypt with their own and set the expiration exactly as if Overdrive handled the transaction entirely. Delivery by Whispernet could be an add on charge. Encrypted PDF would require extra software on Kindle and it's software only clones.
Why would Amazon do this? Market share. And customer satisfaction. And it sets the stage for what I believe to be the next wave - eBook rental.
