I am new to the ebook game and I am a little confused about epub and borrowing from libraries. I am looking to get my first ereader (Really considering the Velocity Cruz coming out in Sept or Sony Pocket Reader). It supports PDF and Epub among others. Will I be able to borrow ebooks from my public library (via overdrive - DRM Protected epub I believe) just because it supports epub format? Borrowing from the library is a key feature for me, since I don't want to feel obligated to purchase all of the books in my printed backlog. Is the Kindle to only ereader that cannot borrow library books?

Thanks.
