I see a lot of people who got a K3 as a gift will be unhappy with it once they find out that it won't work with eBooks from the library.

And if Overdrive was to make eBooks available that worked on a Kindle, the people who use the library now with compatible devices would be pissed.

You cannot please everyone and since the Kindle is a minority device, I think keeping things as they are for Overdrive/Libraries) is the best way to handle things. You want to partake of library eBooks, get something other then a Kindle. Plain and simple.
