I don't want the means for display dictating to me where I can get material to display. I could be wrong on this and please correct me if I am, but I don't believe Kindle allows EPUB or PDF DRM which is the format the library posts material in and what most sites sell in.

Actually, Amazon is easily the largest seller. Most sites sell in a variety of formats, be they unprotected MOBI, or other.
And all EPUB is not equal. DRM'd EPUB or DRM'd PDF is just as locked to devices or readers as DRM'D Mobi/AZW.
